Diversity in Biology Speaker Series: Application of ‘Omics Tools for the Analysis of Food Integrity 

March 3, 2022 at 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Free

The Diversity in Biology Speaker Series invites you to attend a talk by Dr. Yaxi Hu.

To safeguard consumers’ health and rights, food professionals have committed to ensuring the integrity of food products along the supply chain as it travels from the farm to the fork.

Analytical tools can help identify defective food products and serve as the last barrier to prevent those products from contaminating supply chain. Omics tools, originally developed to analyze collection(s) of chemicals in biological samples, have attracted attentions of food researchers due to their excellent performance in analyzing complex sample matrices.

This presentation will focus on how Dr. Hu has applied omics tools to solve a variety of food integrity-related challenges.
