Summary
Illness caused by contaminated food is a major threat to public health and the economy in the UK. This project focuses on Salmonella enterica, a leading cause of foodborne illness, to understand how international food trade networks contribute to outbreaks and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. The successful student will integrate cutting-edge genomic data, food network analysis, and risk modelling to develop tools for outbreak prevention, enabling public health agencies to act more quickly and effectively. This interdisciplinary project offers excellent training in bioinformatics, data science, and public health policy, preparing students for impactful careers in infectious disease research.
