dr. roger cook elected as
Secretary
Dr. Roger L. Cook
Wellington, New Zealand
The International Association for Food Protection welcomes Dr. Roger
L. Cook to the Executive Board as Secretary. Dr. Cook will take office at
the conclusion of the Awards Banquet at IAFP 2017 in Tampa, Florida. By
accepting this position, Dr. Cook has made a five-year commitment to the
Association and will begin his term as President in 2020.
Dr. Cook is Manager of Food Risk Assessment for New Zealand's Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI),
formerly the New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA), in Wellington. In this role since 2012, and as
MPI's principal food microbiologist since 1995, Dr. Cook leads New Zealand's regulatory microbiological
food safety risk assessment initiatives, specifically those for STEC and Campylobacter; designs research
projects to support development and verification of food safety regulations and to evaluate outcomes and
consequences of overseas market access requirements; develops monitoring programs for domestic
and export assurances (the equivalent to the U.S. PR/HACCP and STEC programs); and provides microbiological advice to the vast array of New Zealand's domestic and export food industry. He has a close
working relationship with overseas regulatory authorities and science providers, and is a current member
of the FAO/WHO JEMRA Working Group on STECs in foods.
Dr. Cook's immense experience in New Zealand's food safety system includes working with industry and
the providers of New Zealand's human health surveillance system and PulseNet Aotearoa New Zealand. He
is actively involved with New Zealand's shift to whole genome sequencing (WGS) technologies and provides
expert advice regarding foodborne illness outbreak investigations, food production compliance failures, and
associated legal proceedings.
Dr. Cook received his B.S. and Ph.D. in Microbiology (majoring in sexually-transmitted diseases) from
the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. After graduation, he spent five years in North America,
carrying out postdoctoral research at Toronto General Hospital in Toronto, Canada, and as Assistant
Professor at Hutzel Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. He returned to New Zealand as a Research Scientist for
the Meat Industry Research Institute of New Zealand (MIRINZ), where he successfully transferred his
human microbial ecology skills to focus on meat safety and spoilage.
Dr. Cook has attended every Annual Meeting since joining IAFP in 1997 and was honored to present
the Ivan Parkin Lecture in 2011. He has served on the Foundation Committee as well as the Journal of
Food Protection (JFP) Management Committee as Chair. Dr. Cook is a current Editorial Board Member
for the Journal of Food Protection (since 2005). He has served as Affiliate Council Chair and is a founding
member and current Delegate of IAFP's Affiliate, the New Zealand Association for Food Protection (NZAFP).
He has attended numerous pre-meeting workshops; presented and/or chaired symposia at most IAFP
Annual Meetings; judged the IAFP 2014 Developing Scientist Competition; and mentored several recipients
of the Student Travel Scholarship.
Dr. Cook has always believed in bringing up questions others may not want to ask (or perhaps
don't want to hear the answers), providing alternative views to which others have not been exposed,
and pushing the "boundaries from outside the square." Dr. Cook finds it valuable to ask questions at
symposia, actively participate in audience roundtables, share experiences with young scientists, and
mentor the Student Travel Award recipients. He is also a member of the "infamous" Hatters Group at the
Annual Awards Banquet. These opportunities allow Dr. Cook to instill an open and fun philosophy in the
next generation of food safety scientists and professionals.
