Morgan Griffith | G000568 | morgangriffith.house.gov | morgangriffith | https://morgangriffith.house.gov/news/ | scraper | The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded Virginia Tech, based in Blacksburg, Virginia, a $100,000 grant. The funding supports research into antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture pathogens. In response to this grant notice, U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement: “Antimicrobial resistant pathogens are germs that develop to the point where medicine cannot kill the germ. Accordingly, these pathogens can harm marine aquaculture, an industry that generates billions of dollars for the U.S. economy. “This grant for $100,000 helps Virginia Tech contribute to American aquaculture health and sciences.” BACKGROUND As a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Congressman Griffith serves as the Chairman of the Health Subcommittee. Congressman Griffith has held hearings related to the public health threats posed by antimicrobial resistance. This project will be administered by faculty of the Biomedical Sciences and Pathobiology department at Virginia Tech. ### | 1 | 2026-10-01T11:23:28Z | 2026-10-01T11:25:15Z |
