We are working to address key issues in the food production-processing continuum. Our research work falls into four broad focus areas: poultry production, efficiency and sustainability, avian health and well-being, and food safety and quality.
Below are our faculty and their areas of work:
- Dr. Diana Bourassa: animal welfare, poultry processing, food safety
- Dr. Sungeun Cho: sensory science, consumer research
- Dr. Amit Morey: poultry processing, poultry product quality, technology
- Dr. William Dozier: broiler research and production
- Dr. Saiada Farjana: avian immunology
- Dr. Charlene Hanlon: poultry reproductive physiology
- Dr. Ruediger Hauck: poultry health
- Dr. Jia (Jane) Zhen: poultry post-harvest food safety
- Dr. Wilmer Pacheco: poultry nutrition, feed-milling
- Dr. Sabin Poudel: poultry pre-harvest food safety
- Dr. Samuel Rochell: poultry nutrition
- Dr. Shabarinath Srikumar: poultry microbiology
- Dr. Jinquan Wang: poultry post-harvest food safety
