Biographical Sketch: George Nychas is Professor of Food Microbiology at the Agricultural University of Athens. In the last 25 years he has coordinated 4 and participated in more than 30 EU projects (budget >6M€), while his research interests focus on: a) the assessment of food safety and spoilage through microbiological and physicochemical analysis (metabolomics) in combination with advanced statistical methods, b) responses of stress adapted pathogens grown either planktonically or as biofilms, and c) modelling the behaviour of pathogenic bacteria for the assessment of food safety. He has published 171 papers in SCI journals & 30 book chapters as invited author (ca.5600 citations, h=41).
