Dr. Gary Wyatt
Prof. Mike Morgan
Dr. Gary Brett
RESEARCH INTERESTS
introducing immunochemical techniques
to food research; the development of diagnostic kits, commercially available,
including the first immunassay for quantification of a trace analyte (aflatoxin)
to be given Official First Action status ba the Assaciation of Official
Analytical Chemists in the USA; the range of research covers haptens (e.g.
vitamins, mycotoxins, natural toxicants and pesticides), biopolymers (e.g.
soya, wheat, arabinoxylans) and cells (e.g. Salmonelly, Listeria); improved
methods of hapten-protein production, using monoclonal antibodies to understand
the functionality of wheat flour proteins, in understanding the interaction
of food biopolymers with the human immune system, and in manipulating antibody
specifity and affinity by genetic means through recombinant antibodies

RESEARCH INTERESTS
Development of rapid assay systems
for the determination of food contaminants, drugs and drug metabolites,
bacteria, cells (e.g. Rbc). This involves the use of antibody-based systems
including ELISA, sensors (e.g. Biacore, cytosensor, surface plasmon resonance
and other optical systems, electrochemical approaches). The group has produced
patents that are licensed and products are commercially available. In addition,
they offer a service facility to industry.
