link Full ArticleThe Food Research Institute is saddened to announce the recent passing of Dr. Robert H. Deibel, who had deep ties to the Institute as well as UW-Madison. Dr. Deibel began his career at the University of Wisconsin with FRI in 1966. He became a full Professor in 1970 and served as chair of the department of bacteriology for three years while mentoring numerous graduate students in their pursuit of advanced degrees. In 1979, Dr. Deibel founded Deibel Laboratories, a commercial laboratory for the microbiological testing of foods, water, and cosmetics.
Together with his wife Carol, Dr. Deibel generously donated to FRI to establish two endowed graduate fellowships, one in food safety and the other in probiotics. Thanks to the Deibels’ gift, FRI is able to continue training the next generation of food safety experts.
“Bob’s contributions in academia, and the broader world of food safety, were huge,” said FRI Director Chuck Czuprynski. “He will be missed.”
