Dear Working Group Members,
The European Chamber is delighted to invite you to join the Predictive Modelling and Combase Workshop co-hosted by the European Chamber AFB working group and Unilever R&D Center. The workshop will take place on Friday 18 March at 9:30-15:30 at Unilever R&D Center Shanghai.
In this workshop, we are delighted to have Prof. József Baranyi and Dr. Pradeep Malakar of the Institute of Food Research (IFR) from the UK to present a tool they have established that can help assess growth potential of pathogenic microorganisms in foods. This tool is used by many governments, academia and industry around the world. Prof. Baranyi and Dr. Malakar will be accompanied by Daniel Marin, a software engineer from IFR, who developed the highly acclaimed ComBase system.
The morning session of the workshop is a general introduction to ComBase for all attendees who are interested in the use of the ComBase tool in food safety testing. The afternoon session will provide more specific details on applications in the industry context that the ComBase experts have been involved in.
Please note that the seminar seating is limited. The registration will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.
