A Fresh Take on Food Safety
In an age of mass food production and distribution, McGill’s Food Safety and Quality Program has been working toward developing innovative ways to ensure safety in the Canadian and global food supply chain. And with forward-thinking researchers like Dr. Xiaonan Lu at its helm, the program is well on its way to fulfilling that mission.
Lu, the newly appointed Ian and Jayne Munro Chair in Food Safety and a leader in the field of food safety and food microbiology, is excited to shift the research he started seven years ago to McGill’s Macdonald Campus.
“McGill has a great reputation, a strong agriculture program and excellent agri-food research facilities,” says Lu, who joined the university on August 1. “Macdonald Campus is also not far from the downtown campus, which allows me to connect with potential collaborators in engineering, chemistry and microbiology.”
