Carlos Manuel Franco Abuin

Carlos Manuel Franco Abuin is a Professor in the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Nutrition and Bromatology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Santiago de Compostela. He actively contributes to the Strategic Grouping in Sustainable Management and Production of Bioresources (BioReDes) and the LHICA-USC research group focused on Food Hygiene, Inspection and Control.

His educational background includes:

• Doctorate from the University of Santiago de Compostela (1993) with thesis Presence and behavior of Listeria spp in soft Galician cheeses and in poultry, supervised by Dr. Alberto Cepeda Sáez and Dr. Lucas Jose Domínguez Rodríguez.

Research interests center on Food Safety and Veterinary Public Health, specifically targeting microbial hazards like Listeria monocytogenes in dairy and poultry systems through analytical chemistry and bromatological frameworks. His work integrates pathogen behavior analysis with sustainable bioresource management principles.

As a core member of LHICA-USC, he drives initiatives in food inspection protocols and hygiene control mechanisms, while BioReDes involvement connects his expertise to broader sustainable production challenges. No publications, awards, or student supervision details are provided in the source text.

Details regarding graduate student advising and research grants remain unspecified, though his leadership in strategic R&D groups implies active grant participation and mentorship within veterinary food safety domains.
