Post graduate studentship on salad safety

Dr Primrose Freestone of the Department of Infection, Immunity & Inflammation at the University of Leicester will be supervising a project in conjunction with our Microbiology Department on improving the safety of salads. It will lead to a better understanding of the interaction between food-borne pathogens and chemicals released from salad produce, and the resident flora on the plant's surface. The student will be able to evaluate their model findings using industrial–scale salad processing and washing systems here at Campden BRI. The project is funded by the BBSRC as a CASE studentship.
