DESCRIPTION:The Department of Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry invit
 es you to a seminar by Dr. Dongyan Niu\, University of Calgary.\n\nDespite
  intensive control measures introduced to food processing facilities\, the
  emergence and persistence of foodborne pathogens continually challenge th
 e Canadian food safety system. Long-term goals of Dr. Niu’s research are a
 imed at obtaining new knowledge regarding emergence and dissemination of z
 oonotic pathogens in animal food production and to develop effective and s
 ustainable antimicrobial strategies to sustain human\, animal and environm
 ental health. Dr. Niu will present her vision of Food Safety Program to be
  established in the Department of Food Science & Agricultural Chemistry\, 
 Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ. I
 n addition\, she will present her research achievements with focusing on b
 acteriophage-derived biocontrol strategy\, Shiga toxin producing Escherich
 ia coli as well as bovine respiratory disease.\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nDr.
  Niu is an Assistant Professor of Food Safety\, who joined the Department 
 of Ecosystem and Public Health\, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Uni
 versity of Calgary in September 2017. Before joining the Faculty\, she wor
 ked in Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) as a Research Scientist (2012
 -2017) researching on virulence and persistence of foodborne pathogens in 
 animal food production system as well as detection and prevention of multi
 -drug resistant bacterial pathogens that cause bovine respiratory disease 
 in feedlot cattle. Dr. Niu gained doctoral degree in 2009 and received tra
 ining of bacteriology\, virology\, biochemistry and biotechnology in Agric
 ulture and Agri-Food Canada and AF where she conducted a joint PhD program
  and postdoctoral fellowship with Drs. Tim McAllister and Kim Stanford. He
 r area of expertise includes food safety\, bacteriophage genomics and biol
 ogy\, phage therapy\, detection and biocontrol of zoonotic pathogens. In t
 he past 10 years\, she has published twenty-three peer-reviewed papers and
  two book chapters. Currently\, Dr. Niu is leading 4 and co-investigating 
 5 externally funded research grants relevant to detection and control of f
 oodborne pathogens\, bacteriophage biology\, antimicrobial resistance\, co
 libacillosis\, and bovine respiratory disease. Currently\, she is also ser
 ving as adjunct professor at the Cumming School of Medicine\, University o
 f Calgary and Faculty of Engineering\, University of Alberta.\n\nDr Niu is
  a candidate for the position of Ian & Jayne Munro Chair in Food Safety.\n
