Food Safety Net Services Adds Scientific Advisor

John Bellinger, CEO, FSNS said, “We are thrilled to add Dr. Nightingale to our science technical team. Her extensive background in molecular microbiology will provide our current and future clients with the necessary guidance and direction to assist in their overall food safety needs. The addition of Dr. Nightingale is the latest example of FSNS’ continued investment to expand the depth of food safety knowledge and services.”

 

Dr. Nightingale has a strong background in molecular microbiology and the overall goal of her work is to integrate basic and applied sciences to control foodborne pathogens through the use of combined sampling, testing and subtyping. Dr. Nightingale received her B.S. degree in Agriculture and M.S. degree in Food Science from Kansas State University and obtained her Ph.D. at Cornell University in Food Science with a concentration in Food Microbiology and minored in both Epidemiology and Microbiology. After completing her postdoctoral training at Cornell University, Dr. Nightingale joined the Department of Animal Sciences at Colorado State University, where she was on the faculty for five years prior to transferring to Texas Tech University in the fall of 2011 as an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences. Dr Nightingale will continue to be an Associate Professor at Texas Tech while advising FSNS.
