He left Emory for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in 1993, and then joined the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta in 1997. Tripp was a section chief in the Respiratory and Enteric Viruses Branch of the CDC, where he studied immunity and disease pathogenesis associated with respiratory virus infections. He has studied influenza and respiratory virology for over 14 years, and disease intervention strategies since 1989.
