The National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark invites to Trine Hansen’s PhD defence on a new approach to characterize and detect foodborne pathogens in water, feed and food samples. The defence takes place 23 August 2013 at 13.00.
Foodborne infections are a growing public health problem. Methods for characterization and detection of foodborne pathogens is therefore of high importance in order to improve food safety.
In her PhD, Trine Hansen from the National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark has investigated a new method to characterize Salmonella in food products. She has demonstrated that the method can be used to detect bacterial contamination during foodborne outbreaks, when the source of the contamination is unknown.
