Foodborne and Microorganisms

Assistant Professor in Food Microbiology at the Department of Food Science, Faculty of Food Engineering, University of Campinas, Brazil. He has a Bachelor degree in Industrial Chemistry (USS, Brazil), Master of Science in Food Science (UNICAMP, Brazil) and PhD in Food Science (USP, Brazil), including a one-year internship at Rutgers - The State University of New Jersey (New Brunswick, USA). He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Sao Paulo and currently he is involved in teaching (graduate and undergraduate) students at UNICAMP and his major interests are focused on quantitative aspects of food microbiology and safety, including predictive food microbiology, microbial risk assessment and meta-analysis. Dr Sant'Ana has published over 55 peer-reviewed articles and currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journals Food Research International and Current Opinion in Food Science.
