Jordan won the Ed Nowakowski Senior Memorial Clinical Virology Award, which recognizes an outstanding scientist whose contributions to this field have had a major impact on the understanding of viral disease pathogenesis, epidemiology or treatment.
Jordan draws on her extensive expertise in microbiology, clinical laboratory medicine and virology to strengthen laboratory systems around the world and to study viral diseases. She is currently working on research aimed at curbing the HIV epidemic in the District of Columbia as well as a separate study identifying biomarkers that better predict high-grade disease in anal cancer caused by the human papilloma virus.
