The Food Safety Centre conducts strategic and applied research of interest to a wide range of food industry sectors, including food safety regulators, with emphasis on mechanisms of adaptation, resistance and persistence of food-borne pathogens.
Through mathematical modelling of microbial food safety risk, those research outputs are translated into tools and systems to support food safety management practices in the Australian food industry.
The Centre also has a knowledge portal with postgraduate research, Masters Coursework and Honours degree programs, and provides an on-line course in Advanced Food Safety Management. The Centre plans and conducts courses in applications of predictive microbiology and microbial food safety risk assessment upon request.
