Xiaonan Lu Receives IUFoST Young Scientist Award
Dec 1, 2015
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Xiaonan Lu on receiving the International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST) Young Scientist Award. The Award recognizes an individual in the initial phases of her or his career for the potential to make outstanding scientific contributions to the field of food science and technology and the potential for future scientific leadership.
Xiaonan has made remarkable progress in establishing a multi-disciplinary research laboratory in food safety engineering, where his lab integrates genomics in the fields of food science, analytical chemistry, molecular microbiology and engineering. The application of his research, working in conjunction with industry partners, has resulted in the development of a variety of different portable instruments, chips, strips, and assays for the detection of food chemical and microbiological contaminants/hazards. The innovative research being conducted by Dr. Lu’s research group has enormous potential to establish rapid, accurate, sensitive and ‘green’ methodologies for the analysis of agricultural and food systems.
Xiaonan will present his research to a global audience of World Food Congress delegates from across academia, industry and government in Dublin, Ireland in 2016 Summer (18th World Congress of Food Science and Technology). The IUFoST Young Scientist Award is the preeminent acknowledgement of outstanding young food scientists from around the world.
