Dr. Inger K. Damon, director of the Division of High-Consequence Pathogens and Pathology in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, briefly reviews her career, then details her part in CDC's response to the 2014-16 Ebola epidemic. Given her leadership position in the division housing the Viral Special Pathogens Branch, Dr. Damon was involved in CDC's response from the very beginning.
