Much credit also goes to people in organizations around Caltech who stepped up to make CCSL's work possible, often under challenging conditions:

Student Wellness – for their extensive work on registration and distribution of home collection kits, data concordance studies, and all the clinical follow-up testing and contact tracing downstream of surveillance.

The office of the General Counsel - for navigating a complex and changing regulatory landscape.

Environmental Health and Safety - for advising and overseeing best practices in test-lab safety.

The BBE Division – for providing CCSL with an incredible lab-space in the Chen Neuroscience building.

Purchasing - for exceptional work on complex instrument acquisition and supply orders.

The Ismagilov lab – for invaluable advice and discussion on COVID testing and test-lab practices.

And unflagging support from the Provost and President.
