Fellow presents food safety research at EFFoST in Bruges
Fellow Iman Dankar (Lebanon, 2022), a lecturer and researcher at the Lebanese American University and the University of Balamand, recently presented her findings at the 2024 EFFoST Conference in Bruges, Belgium. Her research focused on the food safety of Lebanese dairy products, examining the accumulation of biogenic amines in relation to various physiological parameters. The study underscores the need to integrate food safety measures with Lebanon’s broader food security objectives and advocates for the establishment of robust surveillance systems to safeguard public health. The research was a collaborative effort with Lebanese American University’s Dr. Hussein F. Hassan and University of Balamand’s Dr. Mireille Serhan.
Dankar’s participation was made possible through a Next-Gen TechCamp grant supported by the U.S. Embassy in Amman, enabling her to share insights from Lebanon and engage with international experts in food science and technology.
