IJERPH Webinar | Food Microbiology: The Past and the New Challenges

Food production and distribution systems are becoming more interdependent, integrated, and globalized. At the same time, escalating and heavily publicized outbreaks of foodborne diseases continue to occur, and have raised awareness on the urgent need to ensure food quality and safety. Hence, active biosurveillance, from the farm to the fork, is fundamental.

Moreover, investigators and stakeholders in food microbiology need to keep updated on novel methodologies and data analysis systems, to be able to overcome past and new challenges.

In this context, and keeping in mind the One Health concept, this webinar gathers experts in food microbiology, aiming to encourage a broad and productive discussion. Hope to welcome a variety of interesting ideas and themes, to further enrich the conversation.

The following experts will be present and talk:

Dr. Teresa Semedo-Lemsaddek, CIISA – Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Animal Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Lisbon, Portugal & Associate Laboratory for Animal and Veterinary Sciences (AL4AnimalS), Portugal
Dr. Eugenio Parente, Scuola di Scienze Agrarie, Forestali, Alimentari ed Ambientali, Università degli Studi della Basilicata, Potenza, Italy
