APHL - Association of Public Health Laboratories

Non-profit OrganizationsMaryland, United States501-1000 Employees

APHL, a non-profit association for public health laboratories, coordinates and supports lab systems that serve the public's health in the United States and abroad. Its member labs work to detect and monitor a range of health threats—from infectious and foodborne diseases to environmental contaminants, dangerous agents, and genetic disorders in newborns. By fostering collaboration and sharing resources, APHL helps strengthen the capacity of public health laboratories to perform surveillance, testing, and response activities.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, APHL serves public health laboratories and related health agencies as its primary audience and operates as a mid-sized nonprofit network within the sector. A 2025 development includes a collaboration with the State of New Jersey under the Laboratory Flexible Funding Model to support analysis of recalled product samples across local public health and environmental laboratories. The organization has supported public health lab initiatives, such as advancing next-generation sequencing quality initiatives and launching the National Biomonitoring Network through partnerships with federal and state agencies.
