Dr. Pedro Carmona, PhD, is a Associate Professor in the area of Physics,Department of Vibrational Spectroscopy, Institute of the Structure of Matter, CSIC. His research has embraced structural aspects of organic compounds, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and biomembranes.
Dr. Adriaan Kole from Institute for Marine Resources and Ecosystem Studies (IMARES) has eight years of experience in applied research in consumer perception and marketing of food products. With a background in psychology, he specialised in cognitive psychology (factors), human perception and food product appreciation. His consumer behaviour research group has an extensive European network and it controls the largest European consumer in-home testing network, TasteNet (also in project 2.4).
Dr. Olga E. Scholten is since January 2005 the coordinator of the Allium genetics & breeding research at Plant Research International, Wageningen, the Netherlands. As a scientist she has been involved in several projects dealing with disease resistance, from developing of screening assays to the identification of molecular markers. Recent years she mainly focused on resistance to Fusarium in wheat and maize, topics with importance not only from an agronomical point of view but also with respect to human health. She has participated in several EU FAIR projects.
