Identifying and finding solutions to the accidental and deliberate contamination of the world’s feed and food supply systems. Our research groups develop highly innovative ways to detect contamination using a wide range of analytical tools such as immunoassay, molecular spectroscopy and advanced mass spectrometry.
We also build chemometric models to ‘fingerprint foods’ and other advanced software tools to identfying where food contamination incidents may occur in the future using predictive analytics.
