Dr. Yan Li and her colleagues have great expertise in studying microbial pathogens, bioinformatics and food safety, and are going to lead the project from the Chinese side with WP4 as the specific task focusing on implementation of novel omics methods of microbiological hazard detection.
Key persons involved (5 persons maximum):
Dr. Yan Li (F) is a principal investigator at ZJU. Her lab works on the zoonotic pathogens, including Salmonella, focusing on the genomic epidemiology and population diversity of foodborne transmission. Her lab led to 10 published papers, including Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Clinical Infectious Diseases, etc. in the past 2 years.
Dr. Weihuan Fang (M) is an honored full professor at ZJU. His lab has been working on foodborne bacterial pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes for decades and has had great expertise in biology of microbial pathogens, epidemiology and molecular genetics. He will act as a project coordinator between China and the EU.
Dr. Min Yue (M) joined ZJU as a principal investigator since Feb 2017. He focuses on bacterial genomics, and has published articles in high profile journals, including Nature Communications, Clinical Infectious Diseases, Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 33 of which as the crossponding or first author.
