Food Safety and Contaminant Monitoring

Mission

The mission of the Research Unit : Food Safety and Contaminant Monitoring (FSCM) is to advance the science of food and nutrition through innovative research that integrates Artificial Intelligence with traditional approaches, ultimately contributing to improved public health and a sustainable food system.

Specific Mission Elements :

Utilize AI to develop personalized nutrition recommendations based on individual needs, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle factors,
Develop AI-driven systems for early detection and prediction of food safety risks, including outbreaks of foodborne illnesses and contamination events,
Develop AI-powered sensors and analytical tools for rapid and accurate detection of contaminants (e.g., pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins) in food and the environment.

Key research focus areas:

I.AI-Driven Personalized Nutrition Recommendations : Developing AI algorithms that integrate personal data (e.g., genetics, lifestyle, health status, preferences) to generate tailored dietary plans.
II. AI-Enhanced Food Fraud Detection : Developing AI algorithms to detect food fraud and adulteration using data from various sources, including spectroscopic analysis, chemical fingerprinting, and supply chain information.
III. AI-Powered Contaminant Monitoring and Risk Assessment : Developing AI- enhanced sensors and analytical tools for rapid and accurate detection of chemical contaminants (e.g., pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins) in food and the environment.
