Primary Food Innovation Center Area: Foods for Health
Areas of Expertise: carotenoids and other phytochemicals, functional foods, LCMSMS analytical measurements, cancer prevention, food processing
Identifying and characterizing bioactive components and metabolites in foods and biological tissues is an area that our research group brings to the center. We look forward to working with various investigators from many different departments and colleges at Ohio State as part of this new center program. Our research is already collaborative and I've personally witnessed the enormous benefit gained by faculty and students involved in multi-disciplinary approaches to solve complex problems. Our research, extramural support, training and teaching efforts have flourished because of collaborative interactions among several investigators at OSU. I look forward to building on these efforts within the proposed food innovation center.
