About
Dr. Alan P. Dupuis is a leading virologist whose work has fundamentally shaped the surveillance and detection of emerging mosquito-borne pathogens. His primary research focuses on arbovirology, molecular diagnostics, and the epidemiology of zoonotic viruses, with a particular emphasis on West Nile virus (WNV). Dr. Dupuis’s most significant contribution came with his landmark 2001 paper, “High-Throughput Detection of West Nile Virus RNA,” which has garnered over 240 citations. In response to the explosive WNV outbreaks in the northeastern United States, he pioneered a revolutionary protocol that combined automated RNA extraction with amplification techniques, dramatically increasing the speed and scale of viral detection. This work transformed public health surveillance, enabling laboratories to process thousands of samples efficiently during outbreaks. Beyond this foundational achievement, Dr. Dupuis has continued to advance molecular methods for tracking viral spread, making him an indispensable figure in the fight against vector-borne diseases. His dedication to developing practical, high-throughput solutions has saved countless hours in diagnostic labs worldwide and remains a cornerstone of modern arbovirus surveillance.
