About

The Food Standards Agency awarded a contract to the University of Oxford for the supply of a PATH-SAFE Science Lead Fellowship, valued at £59,414.8.

The fellowship supports the PATH-SAFE (Pathogen Surveillance in Food, Agriculture and the Environment) project, a Shared Outcomes Fund initiative led by the FSA as part of a cross-government consortium.

The project aims to harness genomic technology to identify and track foodborne pathogens and antimicrobial resistant organisms through the agrifood system and environment, building accessible datasets on AMR and antimicrobials, and a national database for pathogen whole-genome data and metadata.

The fellowship involves leading the scientific delivery of the programme, including exploring novel remote sampling and diagnostic approaches for microbial surveillance, and bringing together partners from academia, government and industry.
