As Director of the International Institute for Public Health Laboratory Management, a joint project of the Association of Public Health Laboratories and The George Washington University, Professor Jordan draws on her unique and extensive expertise in microbiology, clinical laboratory medicine, and virology. The institute was developed to strengthen laboratory systems in nations around the world in order to improve their quality management systems. Professor Jordan also works closely with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation on projects related to early infant diagnosis. She maintains an active research lab and has recently been awarded an NIH R01 grant aimed at developing a molecular approach using PCR and pyrosequencing to more rapidly detect and identify the organism(s) responsible for bloodstream infection.

Professor Jordan is secretary-treasurer to the Pan American Society of Clinical Virology and past chair of the Infectious Disease Division of the Association for Molecular Pathology. She has served on several NIH study sections, most recently involving infectious agents, on the editorial board of the Journal of Clinical Virology, and as referee for numerous peer-reviewed journals. She is currently serving on the CDC laboratory-working group to revise the guidelines for preventing perinatal group B streptococcal disease.
