Research Interests

Research interests in my laboratory involve naturally occurring toxicants of microbial or environmental origin and the effect of various food processes on their chemistry and biological effects.  An area of emphasis is chemical and toxicological fate of mycotoxins, a diverse group of secondary metabolites produced by certain fungi.  As these toxins frequently contaminates agricultural commodities and often survive common food processes, health impact of long-term exposure to these toxins should be carefully considered.

Current projects include the risk assessment of ochratoxin A in the U.S.  This possible human carcinogen has been found in many commodities worldwide including cereal grains, nuts, dried fruits, spices, meat, milk, and processed foods made from these commodities including wine, beer, infant formula and baby foods.  The goal of this project is to provide comprehensive overview of ochratoxin A in foods consumed in the U.S. and health risk assessment for general public and high-risk population such as infants.  It is also our interest to elicit the impact of endocrine disruptors, compounds that may mimic physiological hormones, in environment and foods.

We are also interested in integrating research, education, and/or extension to maximize its impact on food safety.  Currently, we are developing integrated strategies to reduce foodborne illness and food allergic reactions associated with small or independently operated restaurants in collaboration with researchers nationwide.
