Developing undergraduate interest in food safety includes the recruitment of new students through the Discovery Undergraduate Research Internship (DURI) program at Purdue University. From June-Aug 2012 an undergraduate student with no previous food safety experience conducted an independent research project entitled, "Listeria monocytogenes Persistence and Growth in Cantaloupe". The student summarized her progress in a poster presentation then continued her research during the 2012-13 academic year. Haley Oliver, Assistant Professor at Purdue University, recently developed undergraduate laboratories implementing PFGE and PCR. |
