The C-EnterNet team

The hard-working, multi-disciplinary C-EnterNet team includes experts with unique combinations of training in epidemiology, environmental microbiology and public health.

Dr. Frank Pollari, a veterinarian and senior epidemiologist with the Laboratory for Foodborne Zoonoses, is the project leader. He has extensive surveillance experience and specific expertise in improving both data quality and analysis as well as the scientific interpretation of results.

Dr. André Ravel, a veterinarian and senior quantitative epidemiologist, directs the initiative's scientific framework as well as its source attribution component.

Dr. Angela Cook, a veterinarian and epidemiologist with a background in agri-food inspection and retail food surveillance, leads the initiative's agriculture and retail food components.

Ms. Barbara Marshall, a senior public health manager and public health inspector, leads the public health partnership, and plays a lead role in establishing sentinel site and laboratory working relationships.

Ms. Katarina Pintar, an environmental microbiologist, leads the water component, while contributing significantly to the agriculture and retail food components.

The team is supported by a 27-member advisory committee whose members' expertise reflects the scientific and multi-disciplinary nature of C-EnterNet. The committee meets with the team twice a year to provide input on the framework and analytical design, and in later stages of the initiative, into the interpretation of results, program improvements and scientific advances (including improved source attribution methods).

In addition, C-EnterNet employs a part-time retail sampler and has a core administrative support person, Ms. Judy Clarke, who is integrally involved in the business activities at C-EnterNet Central in Guelph . In partnership with the first sentinel site health unit, the Region of Waterloo , C-EnterNet also supports a full-time site liason position. Currently, the C-EnterNet site liason is Ms. Nancy Sittler, a public health inspector with over 18 years experience in infection control and communicable disease.
