Dra. Ambrogina Albergamo
Assistant Professor of Food Chemistry, BIOMORF Department, University of Messina
Dr. Ambrogina Albergamo is currently Assistant Professor of Food Chemistry at the University of Messina. She has a ten-year experience in food science characterized by sectorial and multidisciplinary collaborations with national and international research groups, and her research interests mainly focuses on the assessment of food quality and safety by means of highly performing analytical instrumentation (i.e., GC-EI-TQ-MS/MS, LC-ESI-TQ-MS/MS, and ICP-MS).
Dr. Albergamo took part of the organizing committee of national and international scientific conferences on the chemistry of food and natural products, and she was lecturer in many national/international conferences, which gave her the opportunity to be honoured with several awards.
She is author and co-author of more than 50 papers published in international peer-reviewed indexed journals, 2 book chapters, and more than 50 contributions to national and international conferences.

Access to safe and nutritious food is key not only to sustaining life and promoting good health, but also to supporting trade, tourism, and, hence, the economy.
Unsafe food containing harmful (micro)biological agents and/or chemicals concerns every step of the agrifood chain. Therefore, an effective cooperation between regulatory bodies, scientific community and the various actors of the agrifood chain is needed to help ensure safe and resilient food systems.
The seminar will introduce the main aspects and challenges of food safety, particularly in the area of chemical contamination, then focus on the ever-evolving process of risk assessment and conclude with recent case studies addressed by Dr Albergamo and her food chemistry research group.
