Currently, our efforts to increase food safety and detection are focused primarily on biomolecular recognition and detection devices. Some of the technologies we are researching and perfecting are as follows:

• RNA-based biosensors for pathogen detection
• New biodetection method using amplified photo electrochemical signaling
• Air sampling for E. coli detection on spinach leaves 
• Chemical sensing strategies based on molecularly imprinted polymers
• Wireless amperometric sensors for pathogen detection
• FET DNA biosensors for pathogen detection
• Improvement of phage probes using genetic engineering
• Phage for MRSA detection
• Immobilizing phage using Langmuir-Blodgett Films
• Surface modification of ME materials to allow direct immobilization of phage
• Liquid phage solutions for cleaning of food preparation surfaces
• Vortex Centrifuges for detection of contamination in large volumes of food
• Invasive insect species detection using Smart  automated traps
• Magnetoelastic sensors for pathogen detection on fresh fruits/vegetables
• Magnetoelastic sensors for in-situ monitoring of plant physiology
• Magnetoelastic sensor data acquisition
