At North Carolina A&T SU, our food microbiology and safety laboratory is currently hosting one undergraduate research assistant to conduct research related to lactic acid fermentation using agricultural by-products as growth medium for the production of functional ingredients. In addition, three high school students will participate in the research apprenticeship program (RAP) this summer 2011 and work on research projects related to food safety and protection.
Aim 3 Completed Efforts:
Three Five undergraduate students with specific interests in food safety participating in the 2011 Cornell Summer Undergraduate Research Program, including one undergraduate student each from North Carolina A&T State University, Purdue University and Purdue, UC Berkely, MIT, and Cornell.
Fritz Foo, an undergradute majoring in Molecular Environmental Biology at UC Berkley, was a summer scholar in the Wiedmann lab at Cornell. His research focused on molecular and phenotypic characterization of SalmoenllaEnteritidis isolates obtained from human disesae outbreaks and cases.
Carmen Wickware, an undergradute majoring in Food Science at Purdue University, was a summer scholar in the Worobo lab at Cornell. Her research focused on charactziation of Alicylobacillus isolates and their behaviour in juidce and other beverages.
Jessica Wooten, an undergradute majoring in at Purdue Food and Nutritional Sciences at NC A&T State University, was a summer scholar in the Wiedmann lab at Cornell. Her research focused on
phylogenetic analysis of shiga-toxin producing E. coli isolates from beef cattle farms and natural enviroments.
