Listeria monocytogenes has caused several major outbreaks and recalls in the past year and, as food safety professionals know, is a pathogen of concern for many food facilities. At the 2016 SQF International Conference, attendees will hear from Dr. Martin Wiedmann as he discusses the latest research on effective Listeria prevention methods.
We recently had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Martin Wiedmann, Gellert Family Professor of Food Safety and Director of Graduate Studies for the Field of Food Science and Technology at Cornell University about his work and his thoughts on Listeria prevention.
Can you tell us a little about the overall goal of your academic program?
My research program uses contemporary and cutting edge methods to better understand foodborne pathogen transmission using a systems approach and aims to translate our findings to practical, relevant and effective intervention strategies.
