AUDFS Researchers Participate at ASM Southeastern Branch Annual Meeting

Nov. 9, 2007—Auburn University: Researchers from the University's Detection and Food Safety Center participated in the Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Branch of the American Society for Microbiology, held Nov. 8-10 at the Auburn University Hotel and Conference Center. Forty research presentations, both posters and oral presentations, were made by AUDFS researchers.

A few of the presentations' titles were "Preservation of Bacteria in Natural Polymers," "Characterization of phage-based magnetoelastic biosensors for the detection of Salmonella Typhimurium," "A Wireless Biosensor Using a Microfabricated Phage Interfaced Magnetoelastic Platform," "Raman detection of Salmonella and E. coli," "Surface Plasma Resonance," "Detection of Foodborne Pathogens," and "Uptake and Effect of Silver nanoparticles on Tomato plants."

Ramji Lakshmanan, honorable mention winner

Of note was an honorable mention honor to Ramji Lakshmanan, a graduate student and Ph.D. candidate in Materials Engineering, for his research poster, titled "Characterization of a phage based magnetoelastic biosensors for the detection of Salmonella typhimurium," and was co-authored by Rajesh Guntupalli, J.M. Barbaree, V.A. Petrenko and B.A. Chin. The poster detailed research to develop a wireless biosensor that can be used to monitor food-borne pathogens in sealed containers and bio-terrorism agents.

Also at the meeting, Dr. Aleksandr Simonian, an AUDFS researcher and professor of Materials Enginnering, chaired the Nov. 9 afternoon session titled "Biosensors for Pathogens." Simonian specializes in the development and fabrication of biosensors for environmental analysis, food safety, medicine, agriculture, veterinary and industrial process control, as well as numerous spectroscopy applications.
