Dr. Taurai Tasara is a veterinary food safety microbiologist, research group leader, and lecturer at the Institute for Food Safety and Hygiene of the Vestsuisse faculty at the University of Zurich (Switzerland). He is currently involved in teaching and research supervision at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with an emphasis on veterinary public health and molecular food safety. Research conducted in his lab focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying stress resilience and virulence, as well as the molecular epidemiology and population genetics of different food-borne pathogens. He is passionate about food safety, infectious diseases, and antimicrobial resistance issues affecting the African continent, and he actively develops research projects with other researchers that focus on food, water, and infectious disease pathogens, as well as microbiological and AMR surveillance at the human–animal–environment interfaces. In this context, Dr. Tasara has specific interests in the research and development of genomics-based diagnostic tools and applications for food-borne and infectious disease pathogen detection, as well as monitoring the quality and safety of food and water sources.
