Jianping Wu

Dr. Wu is a Full Professor and Director of Food Science and Bioresource Technology Division at the Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science of University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada). His globally recognized research program focuses on processing of food proteins for food and functional food applications, with the ultimate goals to sustain the global protein nutrition and to unlock the potential of food proteins as the diet-based strategies for the prevention and mitigation of chronic diseases. Dr. Wu is also a world-renowned researcher in egg research. He has published over 220 peer-reviewed articles at international journals, 15 invited book chapters, 2 edited books (sole editor), over 250 presentations, and 10 patents/patent applications. He is an editorial advisory member of Food & Function and Journal of Functional Foods, associate editor for Journal of Functional Foods (since 2019.4), associate editor-in-chief for Food Science and Human Wellness (since 2014.9), and past associate editor for Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture (2012.1-2018.12). He is the past Chair of the Protein and Co-Products Division of the American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS) and the Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods Division of Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), a regular organizer and chair of numerous scientific symposia/sessions. and is currently serving as the Treasurer of International Society for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods (ISNFF). Jianping is also a highly praised mentor. He has successfully supervised 14 PhD students, 13 Master students, 22 postdoctoral fellows, and 14 summer students. He was nominated by his trainees for the Department mentor award at the University of Alberta (2016), which recognizes his exceptionally high-quality work with and for graduate students. He is the recipient of IFT Babcock-Hart Award (2021), which honors an IFT member who has attained distinction by contributions to food technology that result in improved public health through nutrition or more nutritious food, and the Fellow of the Agricultural and Food Chemistry Division (AGFD) of American Chemical Society (ACS, 2021), which recognizes an AGFD member who has made outstanding scientific contributions to the field of agricultural and food chemistry.
