“We’re elated to welcome Dr. Noller to our distinguished team of public health experts, especially as we address the current misunderstanding and disregard for the genuine risk of fomite and food contamination regarding COVID-19,” said Jeff Gill, founder and CEO of Germinator. “Dr. Noller’s extensive career in the field of agricultural research will be a tremendous asset in definitively determining the risk these routes of transmission present.”

The Germinator Scientific Advisory Board validates the company’s research and process and is responsible for reviewing and advising on product strategy and assisting with legislative and regulatory issues.

“I am looking forward to working alongside Germinator as a member of its esteemed Scientific Board in a continued effort to research and understand the transmission of emerging pathogens onto food and surfaces,” said Dr. Noller. “There is still so much work to be done when it comes to understanding the way germs, bacteria, and viruses interact with different environments, and this knowledge is key to developing innovative measures to remedy the risk of exposure and spread.”
