DNA Fingerprinting of Listeria monocytogenes

The next issue of Penn State Agriculture will feature a story on work being done in the area of food safety. Researcher Steve Knabel's work in identifying Listeria monocytogenes using DNA fingerprinting techniques will be part of the story. I made this portrait of Knabel in his lab in the new Food Science Building. If you aren't already receiving the magazine you may want to visit our site and get your own FREE SUBSCRIPTION.

And the light isn't normally blue in his lab. Forgive my taking some artistic license in creating this illustration.
