Building off the Phase I three-day technical training program held in August in Bogor, Indonesia, the Agriculture & Food Systems Institute organized a five-day training program at the Stine Haskell Research Facility in Wilmington, DE to observe how food and feed safety assessment data is collected in the laboratory.
Program
The training featured sessions on:
- Laboratory and Vivarium Safety
- Testing Proteins for Toxicity
- Data Analysis and Statistics
- Regulatory Testing Strategy
- Molecular Characterization
- Analytical Chemistry/Composition Analysis
- Allergenicity

- Transformation Laboratory Tour
- Microscopy Laboratory Tour
This project is supported by a grant from the USDA’s Emerging Markets Program.
