Riley is in China this week on a business and trade mission, and he and Dr. Jian Han of the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology have met with the leaders of public health agencies in the cities of Shanghai and Nanjing.
They are working to establish joint venture laboratories where scientists can apply advanced genomic technologies for improved detections and monitoring of foodborne pathogens and other public health threats.
There are very few things we do in government that are as important as food safety, Riley told leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Food and Drug Administration. Because of scientific work going on in Alabama, we have the opportunity to cultivate relationships throughout the world that lead to improvements in public health, and that will benefit all of us.
