Biography

Dr. Tom O’Callaghan is a lecturer in Food Science and Technology in the School of Food and Nutritional Sciences at UCC. Tom graduated from UCC with a BSc in Food Science in 2014 and PhD in Science in 2018. Tom carried out his PhD in Teagasc Moorepark Food Research Centre, examining the effects of cow feeding system on the quality and constituents of raw milk, dairy products and the rumen. During his PhD Tom was the recipient of a Teagasc Overseas Training Award which facilitated him to conduct a portion of his studies at The Metabolomics Innovation Centre in the University of Alberta. In 2017, Tom took up the role of permanent Research Officer responsible for dairy chemistry research with Teagasc, in the Dept of Food Chemistry and Technology before joining UCC in 2020. Tom’s research has focused on chemistry, nutrition and processing technologies across the supply chain, with particular emphasis on the effects of production practices, cow feeding systems and dairy processing technologies on the quality, nutritional and functional characteristics of milk and dairy products. Tom is a Principal Investigator with Food For Health Ireland and the Dairy Processing Technology Centre and an Academic Collaborator with VistaMilk, an SFI research centre.‍

	Year	Publication
	(2021)	Pasture Summit 2021, Tom F. O'Callaghan (2021) Milk is a highly nutritious food product and a natural source of a variety of beneficial and essential nutrients. Grass-Fed milk and dairy products are becoming more prominent on the market, often commanding a premium price, driven by consumer perceptions of a more natural, nutritious and sustainable product choice. This session will explore the impact of pasture based feeding systems on the composition and quality of milk and highlight the attributes that provide Grass-Fed dairy products with their unique characteristics.
