Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger is a pathologist at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, D.C., and heads the institute's division of molecular pathology. In March 1997, a team of pathologists led by Taubenberger published a report in the journal Science concerning the discovery of genetic material from the 1918 Spanish influenza.

Dr. Taubenberger spoke with The American Experience about the significance of this finding and how it may aid in preparation for future influenza outbreaks.
