Research from the FABS department. #food #nanotechnology

Color and chemistry!

Congratulations to Deeksha Shetty, qualifying for the global Alltech Young Scientist Graduate Student competition in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. Presenting her research on Salmonella biofilm formation, Deeksha is one of 4 finalist from around the world. Great job Deeksha! #FABS

Congrats to Deeksha, a recent graduate of the Food and Bioproduct Sciences: USASK department! Well done!

More evidence for the benefits of diet and food in promoting health; this time focusing on the immune system.

Congrats to all the FABS graduates for the year! All the best in your future endeavors. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing. #grad2019 #FABSgrads

Know your audience and relate to them! Key to understanding.
