Malaysian student, graduated in Food Safety in 2009 My name is Edmund Teoh from Malaysia and I graduated from the MSc Food Safety program at Wageningen University in 2009. As part of the MSc program, I took several courses organized by the Law and Governance group including Food Law and Comparative Food Law, under the instruction of Prof. Bernd van der Meulen and Prof. Menno Van Der Velde. I also completed my thesis with the Law and Governance group, where I focused on the topic of “Halal Food Regulation�. With the encouragement and supervision of Prof. van der Meulen, I further undertook my internship with the Food Safety and Zoonoses Department at the World Health Organization, where I assisted the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) in managing food safety incidents that may have a global impact. Currently, I am Senior Manager, Scientific Programs, at the Southeast Asian branch of the International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) based in Singapore, where I am responsible for managing food safety-related projects that support the development of technical infrastructure and scientific capabilities among countries belonging to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), such as in conducting food safety risk assessment.
