About
Paulo Dilkin is a leading researcher in food safety and mycotoxicology, with a particular focus on the detection and control of fungal toxins in agricultural commodities. His major contributions center on developing robust analytical methods for fumonisins—carcinogenic mycotoxins that threaten both human and animal health. His highly cited 2001 paper, "Robotic automated clean-up for detection of fumonisins B1 and B2 in corn and corn-based feed by high-performance liquid chromatography," introduced an innovative, automated clean-up technique that significantly improved the efficiency and reliability of fumonisin analysis. This work, with 38 citations, has been foundational for laboratories worldwide seeking to monitor these toxins in food and feed supplies. Beyond this landmark study, Dilkin’s broader research has advanced understanding of mycotoxin occurrence, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies, making him a key figure in ensuring the safety of staple crops like corn. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to bridging analytical chemistry and public health, providing practical tools that protect consumers and livestock from hidden contaminants.
