Everyday Extraordinary Podcast: Episode 6
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, did you ever stop to wonder how we knew where the hotspots were? The answer lies in the immense amount of data that needed to be collected, organized, and analyzed to provide the CDC with accurate, life-saving information. At the heart of this work was Sergei Li, a veteran in this industry who has taken up the fight against some of the world’s most dangerous outbreaks over the past 25 years.
From the early 2000 Anthrax scare to the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS and the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19, Sergei’s career has been defined by his relentless efforts to manage chaos with precision. First with the CDC and now with Peraton, Sergei and his team have been instrumental in working to inform the public about pandemic hotspots, facilitating vaccine rollouts, and shaping long-term strategies to prevent the spread of diseases like HIV.
In this episode, we explore Sergei Li’s extraordinary journey, delving into how Peraton’s data-driven approach has helped protect countless lives—from acts of terrorism to global health crises—and continues to make the world a safer place.
