Palmy Jesudhasan serves as a Researcher in the Department of Poultry Science at the University of Arkansas and holds the position of Director of the Experiment Station. He maintains a dual appointment as Research Microbiologist with the USDA-ARS Poultry Production and Product Safety Research Unit in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
His academic credentials include:
- BSc in Zoology from Madurai Kamaraj University, India (1990)
- MSc in Zoology from Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, India (1992)
- MPhil in Zoology from Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, India (1993)
- PhD in Zoology from University of Madras, Chennai, India (1998)
Dr. Jesudhasan's research centers on controlling foodborne pathogens in poultry through innovative electron beam technology and molecular approaches. His work integrates poultry microbiology, vaccine development, and food safety science with specific focus on Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp., and Campylobacter jejuni. He pioneers electron-beam-killed vaccines to prevent pathogen colonization in poultry, directly addressing food safety challenges in agricultural production systems.
Analysis of his 2015-2021 publications reveals consistent innovation in pathogen control methodologies, particularly electron beam inactivation techniques for vaccine development. His research bridges veterinary medicine, microbiology, and food science, with strong emphasis on practical applications for reducing foodborne illnesses in poultry production. Key pathogens studied include multiple Salmonella serovars, Clostridium perfringens, and Campylobacter jejuni, targeting critical stages from live production to postharvest processing.
As Director of the Experiment Station, Dr. Jesudhasan leads the USDA-ARS Poultry Production and Product Safety Unit, directing collaborative research between university and federal agricultural programs to advance poultry science and food safety standards.
