Overview

Joseph F. Frank is affiliated with the University of Georgia in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with additional work in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. The scientist's subfields of study include Food Science and Biotechnology.

Their published work addresses several main topics, including:

  • Listeria monocytogenes in Food Safety
  • Food Safety and Hygiene
  • Salmonella and Campylobacter epidemiology

Joseph F. Frank has contributed to the academic discourse through publications in the Journal of Food Protection. One recent paper is titled "Modification of a Predictive Model To Include the Influence of Fat Content on Salmonella Inactivation in Low-Water-Activity Foods," published in 2020.

Frequent collaborators in their research include:

  • Lisa M. Trimble
  • Donald W. Schaffner

The combination of topics and subfields indicates a focus on microbial safety in food products, exploring how various factors affect pathogen behavior and food hygiene standards. Their contributions align with ongoing efforts to improve food safety protocols through scientific study in bacterial inactivation and epidemiological patterns.
