Dr. Warriner's research focuses on enhancing food safety within meat processing and the fresh-cut sectors. To this end, his research team has advanced knowledge in the area of emerging pathogens, intervention technologies and the development of biosensor devices for the detection of foodborne hazards. Throughout the last 15 years in the field of microbiology and food safety research, Warriner has published more than 100 papers, book chapters, patents, and conference abstracts.
He was awarded the Agri-Food Innovation of Excellence for 2017. He is frequently contacted by the media to provide commentary on food safety issues and is the past President of the Ontario Food Protection Association.
He received his BSc in food science from the University of Nottingham, U.K. and PhD in microbial physiology from the University College of Wales Aberystwyth, U.K. He later went on to work on biosensors at the University of Manchester, U.K. and subsequently returned to the University of Nottingham to become a research fellow in food microbiology. He joined the Faculty of the University of Guelph in 2002.
