Biography

Bristol University Bristol EnglandPhD Food Microbiology 2006Thesis: Studies on the tolerance and survival of Campylobacter populations exposed to stresses encountered during food processing The physiological and genomic response of C jejuini to 6?C was determined using physiological and olecular techniques The affect of exposure to 6°C for 24 hours on the survival of C jejuni strains exposed to 52 and 60°C was determined and analysed using the Weibull model Supervised by Professor T umphreyKey skills: Fatty acid extraction from microbial cells and integration of GC traces microarrays: Campylobacter jejuni 11168 genome analysis of microbial death curves using Weibull model protein extraction both cellular and outer membrane from bacteria analysis of C jejuni STM library developed a number of assays to determine stress response determination of bacterial growth curves using a Lab systems bioscreen etermination of electron transport activity in bacterial cells RNA extraction from bacterial cells
