A doctor from UTMB is sharing his experience in Sierra Leone after returning from a six-week trip. Dr. Tom Ksiazek left for Sierra Leone in August and recently returned to the United States last week. The former CDC employee now works at UTMB as the director of high containment laboratory operations at UTMB's Galveston National Laboratory. He was asked by the CDC to travel to Sierra Leone, one of the countries hit hardest by the Ebola virus. During his trip Dr. Ksiazek stayed primarily in Sierra Leone's capital city of Freetown. It wasn't his first time dealing with an Ebola outbreak. The news also appears in the Houston Chronicle.
