Dr. Xiuping Jiang is a Professor in Food Microbiology at the Department of Food, Nutrition, and Packaging Sciences, Clemson University. Her research interests focus on understanding how foodborne pathogens persist in food, on surfaces and in pre-harvest environment, and developing the strategies to detect and control these pathogens.
