Meet Chris Blanchard
Professor Chris Blanchard is responsible for the overall leadership and management of the centre to ensure that the operation of the centre runs smoothly and that milestones are met. He will also take on a significant supervisory role and mentor other junior supervisors within the centre.
Our cookbook
We hope that with this cookbook, we can identify international consumer preferences, play a key role in helping to improve future grain storage, enhance human health with the recipes and drinks, improve food end-product quality, identify novel bioactive compounds, train the next generation of food scientists, and build long term collaborative food innovation systems.
