Integrated course unit module: Risk Analysis in the Food Chain and Animal Welfare

Learning objectives

Students will acquire knowledges on microbial genomics applied to outbreak investigation, source attribution and risk assessment. Whole genome sequencing platforms and technologies will be described. Benefits of a real-time outbreak investigation and a more targeted source attribution and hazard identification/characterisation will be discussed along with major challenges and opportunities.

Prerequisites

none

Course unit content

Whole genome sequencing platforms and technologies
Introduction to microbial risk analysis
WGS and outbreak investigation (definition of outbreak, subtyping approaches, platforms for real-time outbreak investigation)
WGS and source attribution (frequency-matching, machine learning, network models)
Genome Wide Association Studies and prediction of phenotypic traits
WGS and risk assessment (pathogen typing and characterisation for hazard identification, prediction of virulence potential for dose-response relationships in hazard characterisation, prediction of phenotypic traits associated to growth/survival for exposure assessment)
