After repeating early COVID mistakes, US now has the world’s biggest monkeypox outbreak “If we don’t react more aggressively within the next couple of months – it’ll never be the same as coronavirus, but it could mimic the (spread of the) AIDS epidemic pretty closely,” said Jared Auclair, an analytical chemist and associate dean at Northeastern University in Boston. GBH Q+A: Should I use an expired at-home COVID test? What if I leave one in my hot car? But not so fast — make sure you check the expiration date on that kit before you use it, says Jared Auclair, director of the Biopharmaceutical Analysis Training Lab at Northeastern University, who joined GBH Morning Edition host Paris Alston to answer questions about COVID tests.

WCVB TV Demand for COVID-19 testing remains high in Massachusetts An associate dean at Northeastern University who runs a COVID-19 testing program questions whether the scramble to get tested is really necessary, especially as people face long waits in the cold. As coronavirus swirls and the holidays near, COVID-19 tests are in high demand Since the Omicron variant was first identified at the end of November, case numbers have surged in Massachusetts, said Jared Auclair, associate dean of professional programs and graduate affairs at Northeastern University’s College of Science.

Jared Auclair, the Director of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, at Northeastern University said, “Since school started, we’ve been averaging about 5,500 tests per day.” Boston 25 How a lab at Northeastern and technology developed in Watertown are helping identify new virus variants Northeastern University has been aggressive in its approach to testing both students and employees. A special lab was set up in Burlington to monitor the tests the school requires everyone to take, and so far, about 800,000 tests have been analyzed. Jared Auclair for Northeastern Global News Northeastern receives $17.5 million from CDC to launch infectious disease prediction center Northeastern receives $17.5 million from CDC to launch infectious disease prediction center Renowned network scientist Alessandro Vespignani will head a new innovation center that will prepare the United States for future epidemics. Here’s how Northeastern will test students who show symptoms of COVID-19 Here’s how Northeastern will test students who show symptoms of COVID-19 In order to promote the safety of the Northeastern community, the university has created a separate testing facility on Huntington Avenue for students who exhibit symptoms of the illness. The Huntington Testing Center is where all symptomatic students—including those on co-op—will be tested, upon referral by a medical professional. What it’s like to run a lab that churns out thousands of coronavirus test results per day What it’s like to run a lab that churns out thousands of coronavirus test results per day Thousands of coronavirus swabs from Northeastern’s Boston campus end up in the Life Sciences Testing Center. Jared Auclair, an associate teaching professor of biotechnology, is at the helm. “All of my efforts are turned towards maintaining quality while scaling up our effort,” he says. “If we’re not going to produce quality results, there’s no point.”
