S27, Novel Frontiers in Microbiology – Recent Advances in Non-DNA based Rapid Microbial Detection and Identification Methods.

Monday, July 27, 2015: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM

B115 - B116 (Oregon Convention Center)

Primary Contact: Amit Morey


Organizers: Amit Morey and Arun Bhunia

Rapid methods for the detection and identification of foodborne pathogens have seen significant developments since the discovery of PCR. Several robust methods have been developed by exploring different regions of the DNA and modifying existing PCR protocols.

However, the science of rapid detection and identification of foodborne pathogens should not be restricted to DNA. Several other molecules as well as physical and chemical properties of microorganisms can be used in developing these rapid methods. Researchers in the industry and academia have discovered these novel frontiers in microbiology. They have not only developed but also proven the effectiveness of rapid methods using certain unknown properties of microorganisms or developing a completely novel technique.

The symposium aims at showcasing the recent advances in the field of non-DNA based rapid methods for foodborne pathogen detection and identification. It also intends to open up discussions about non-DNA based methods, encourage microbiologists to discover novel methods and provide industry with an insight into the future of rapid detection and identification.

This symposium comprises of presentations from scientists representing industry and academia. Speakers from the industry will specifically talk on the science behind their technologies and will not be allowed to advertise their products.
