About Si Hong

Si Hong Park is an Associate Professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology at Oregon State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences, a position he advanced to following his appointment as Assistant Professor in August 2017. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Food Science at the University of Arkansas from 2013 to 2017. Park earned a B.S. in Food Science and Technology in 2004 and an M.S. in Food Science and Biotechnology in 2006 from Kyung Hee University in South Korea, along with a Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Arkansas in 2013. He also holds an Affiliate Professor position at the School of Food Science and Technology, Chung-Ang University, Republic of Korea. His research program centers on developing food safety initiatives that integrate genomics, metagenomics (microbiome and whole genome sequencing), and transcriptomics through next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics. This includes the detection, identification, and control of foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter, and E. coli across the supply chain from farms to consumers using molecular techniques. Park examines microbiome dynamics in the gastrointestinal tracts of humans, poultry, cattle, catfish, and experimental animals, assessing microbial diversity amid food and feed supplements like prebiotics, probiotics, and antimicrobials, as well as pathogen challenges, to elucidate host-microbe interactions vital for food safety and quality.
