As head of the International Training at the Novel and Dangerous Pathogens team at the UK Health Security Agency, Dr Logue leads a team of dedicated scientists and educators in the development and delivery of microbiology laboratory training for UKHSA and global partners. He has over twenty years leading on various projects focused on biosafety and biosecurity laboratory capacity building in low- and medium-resource countries, providing advice and technical training for labs handling high-consequence and emerging/re-emerging pathogens. He and his team develop bespoke technical laboratory biosafety and biosecurity elearning, to allow for wider audiences, predominantly in LMICs to access training material relevant and most impactful to them. He has over two decades of professional experience and competence (having previously worked at US CDC, DSTL and UKHSA) to train others to work safely in BSL-3 laboratories. He has led two European Mobile Lab deployment teams to Guinea in 2014/15, subsequently developing an EVD laboratory outbreak response training course for the >400 laboratory staff that deployed to the UK EVD labs in Sierra Leone. Dr Logue later developed this EVD field training course material for WHO and has contributed on several occasions to WHO publications, the most recent being the Interim guidance on Diagnostic testing for Ebola and Marburg virus diseases (20 Dec 2024). In 2018, he established the only NSF-approved BSCII field certification course in Europe that has now produced accredited BSCII certifiers from Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Zambia, The Gambia, and Ethiopia. Dr has led UKHSA’s involvement in the EU CBRN Centres of Excellence Initiative for three biosafety and biosecurity projects in Central Asia (Project 53 - 2016-19), Southeast Asia (Project 81- 2020- 25) and in East and Central Africa (Project 99 – 2023 - ongoing), developing and delivering biosafety and biosecurity training, most recently in high consequence biological waste management. Dr Logue’s academic background is as an arbovirologist, having carried out his Ph.D on virulence determinants of Alphaviruses, publishing the first full genome sequence of Chikungunya virus at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Since then, he has supervised several PhD and master’s student projects on Chikungunya, Dengue, Zika, Ebola and on the metagenomic analysis of febrile patient samples in identifying Oropouche virus for the first time in Ecuador (Wise et al, 2020). He maintains his interests in globally re-emerging pathogens through his role as visiting professor at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador when delivering the animal virology master’s course there.
