DESCRIPTION:Safeguarding the Food Chain: Advances in Mycotoxin Monitoring\,
  Risk Assessment\, and Mitigation Strategies\n\nProfessor Andre Khoury wil
 l discuss his work on the monitoring\, risk assessment\, and mitigation of
  mycotoxins\, harmful metabolites produced by certain filamentous fungi th
 at contaminate crops\, dairy\, and different food products. His research i
 ntegrates field data\, laboratory analysis\, and molecular detection metho
 ds to identify contamination sources\, assess exposure levels\, and develo
 p practical interventions. These include novel decontamination technologie
 s\, natural antifungal agents\, and improved storage and processing practi
 ces. Prof. Khoury will highlight how these approaches can strengthen food 
 safety systems\, reduce public health risks\, and support agricultural sus
 tainability. He will also share ideas for collaboration with 91ºÚÁÏÍø-affili
 ated researchers\, industry partners to collaborate in advancing mycotoxin
  control and ensuring a safer\, more resilient food supply.\n\nAll are wel
 come!\n\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nAndre Khoury\n\nProfessor\, Food Scientist
