Biography
Dr. Shannon E Majowicz is an Assistant Professor in the School of Public Health, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Dr. Shannon E Majowicz research aims to prevent foodborne and related diseases in Canadian and international contexts, and to enhance public health practice both broadly and within environmental health. To this end, I investigate the burden and risks for these illnesses, and identify and evaluate interventions (including those currently in use, like food handler training). My research applies a systems lens to food-related health outcomes: food and its consumption is a confluence of risks and benefits which impact infectious diseases, chronic conditions, and nutrition, and I explore food safety strategies that account for the multiple health outcomes associated with the production and consumption of food.
