DESCRIPTION:The Department of Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry invit
 es you to a seminar by Dr. Jianrong Li\, Ohio State University.\n\nViruses
  are responsible for the majority of foodborne illnesses. The most common 
 foodborne viruses include human norovirus\, rotavirus\, hepatitis A virus\
 , and hepatitis E virus. Worldwide\, human norovirus accounts for more tha
 n 95% of nonbacterial gastroenteritis outbreaks. In Canada\, human norovir
 us causes 65% of foodborne illnesses\, and 7\,350 hospitalizations annuall
 y. High-risk foods for norovirus contamination include fresh produce\, sea
 food\, and ready-to-eat foods. This seminar will discuss the attachment\, 
 internalization\, and dissemination of norovirus in the high-risk foods\, 
 and discuss novel interventions and non-thermal processing technologies to
  remove\, mitigate\, and inactivate norovirus in high-risk foods with a go
 al of enhancing food safety and public health.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER:\n\nDr
 . Jianrong Li received DVM and PhD in 2002 from Zhejiang University\, P. R
 . China. From 2002-2008\, he received post-doctoral training in molecular 
 virology at University of Massachusetts Medical School and Harvard Medical
  School in the United States. In 2008\, he started as a tenure-track Assis
 tant Professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology at The Ohi
 o State University (OSU). In 2013\, he was promoted to Associate Professor
  with tenure in the Department of Food Science and Technology\, and he mov
 ed to Department of Veterinary Biosciences at the same university. In 2017
 \, he was promoted to full Professor at OSU. Since he started as a faculty
  member at OSU in 2008\, he has built a strong research program on food sa
 fety\, foodborne viruses\, and respiratory viruses. His laboratory has bee
 n continuously funded by US federal grants including National Institutes o
 f Health (NIH) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). In tota
 l\, he has won over $15.0 million research grants as a PI and over $45.0 m
 illion as a co-PI. He has published more than 85 publications in leading v
 irology\, microbiology\, and food safety journals including Nature Microbi
 ology\, Nature Communications\, PNAS\, mBio\, Journal of Virology\, and Ap
 plied Environmental Microbiology. His work has led to 7 issued patents and
  12 invention disclosures. He won several awards including Final List of I
 nnovator of Year Award\, Zoetis Award for Research Excellence\, Charles C.
  Capen Teaching Excellence Award\, and Distinguished Undergraduate Advisor
  at OSU. He has served as an editor for International Journal of Food Micr
 obiology\, a member of editorial broad for Applied Environmental Microbiol
 ogy.\n\nDr Li is a candidate for the position of Ian & Jayne Munro Chair i
 n Food Safety\n
