Who Should Attend
The MiL, Inc., along with other sponsors, invite you to
attend our seminar, a one-day series of
speakers from both the industry and
academia covering applied and analytical food microbiology issues and food safety.
For those involved in food preparation, processing, and sales who are concerned with the possible health and safety impact of your products, this seminar will provide you with invaluable technological knowledge and perspective on microbiological principles for decision making.
Representatives of health education and services, nutrition, and public health programs will be interested in learning of the techniques and technologies available to combat food-born pathogens, presented by leaders of the industry.
Technical sales personnel in the various industries, food microbiologists, laboratory specialists and
others who desire the latest information in microbial characterization
and identification and functional groups of
organisms will find the seminar packed with new ideas and
methodologies.
Space is limited so attendance will be restricted to the first 200 registrants.
Learning Objectives
The seminar will build upon basic microbiology for the formulator/diagnostic safety and quality microbiology decision-maker. Upon completion of this day, you will have basic
understanding of the principles of diagnostic food microbiology with a
focus on newer methodologies which are being applied evermore frequently from
the applied areas of biochemistry and
biotechnology, such as qPCR and MicroArray techniques.
Through our seminar, by providing a solid foundation
of excellence in microbiology and quantitative analytical methods, you will become aware of the many resources available to assist you with issues involving food safety microbiology. Your perspective on the microbial world around
you will be greatly enhanced to the benefit of both you and your clients.
