Research interests reside in applying innovative effect-based bioanalysis techniques including proteomic and metabolomic profiling tools to issues relating to food safety with a particular emphasis on identifying chemical and biological agent exposure in the feed/food/animal supply chain. On-going research projects within the Institute for Global Food Security focus on development of techniques for emerging chemical contaminant monitoring and detection in the food supply chain and food-producing animals, and the development of new technologies to enhance the efficacy of disease diagnosis and screening in animal production systems.
