Protecting the Safety and Quality of Australian Oysters with Integrated Predictive Tools (Doctorate)

Supervisors: John Bowman , Tom Ross , Mark Tamplin Members: Judith Fernandez Piquer

This project investigates the viability of Vibrio species in Australian oysters and translates kinetic parameters into predictive models that can be used to manage risk in the supply chain.

Increasing Oyster Spat Production Through Management of Microbiological Contamination (Doctorate)

Supervisors: John Bowman , Mark Tamplin Members: Chris Chapman

This project will investigate sources of microbial contamination in oyster hatchery operations and develop mitigation strategies to increase production efficiency.

Genomic and proteomic assessment of acid resistant foodborne pathogenic E. coli (Doctorate)

Supervisors: John Bowman

This project focuses on studying the response of Escherichia coli in acidic conditions that directly resembles the environment of food products such as salami and other cured meats. Read More....

Determination of genetic characteristics associated with the survival and persistence of the food pathogen Listeria moncytogenes (Doctorate)

Supervisors: John Bowman , Tom Ross Members: Rolf Erik Nilsson

My PhD project aims to further knowledge of the molecular mechanisms contributing to environmental persistence of L. monocytogenes. The focus is on strain variation, genetic characterisation, physiology and environmental factors underpinning biofilms. Read More....

Strain specific responses of Listeria monocytogenes to salinity and low temperature stress (Doctorate)

Supervisors: John Bowman Members: Julia Souprounov

In this study a wide range of L. monocytogenes strains were screened for NaCl and cold tolerance to provide a basis of strain selection for subsequent microarray analysis for determination of general and strain-specific responses related to osmotic and cold stress Read More....
