In a bright, humming lab at Case Farms in Canton, Ohio, Moses Dogho peers through an analytical microscope, his mind simultaneously focused on microscopic contaminants and macro-level food safety solutions. For Dogho, science is more than data and devices.
It is a mission to safeguard public health, optimize food systems, and innovate sustainably.

Moses Dogho’s journey began in Nigeria, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from Obafemi Awolowo University. With a passion for clean energy and food security, he later migrated to the United States, earning a Master of Science in Chemistry at Youngstown State University.
During his studies, he delved into advanced material characterization and renewable energy technologies, particularly solid oxide fuel cells, a passion that culminated in his published thesis on methane passivation in landfill gas systems.
Dogho’s scientific acumen soon found a critical application in the food industry. Now a Quality Control Lab Analyst at Case Farms, he works on the frontline of food safety, using cutting-edge analytical tools like VIDAS, Gene-Up, and the Tempo System to detect pathogens like Salmonella and Campylobacter in poultry. “We are no longer in an age where traditional culture-based methods can keep up with the speed of food distribution,” he says. “We need real-time solutions.”

And real-time solutions are precisely what he provides. Dogho’s research contributions speak volumes: his 2025 article in the Journal of Scientific Research and Reports—Sustainable Bio-based Approaches to Food Waste Management in Quality Control Laboratories—proposes using bioreactors to convert organic waste into bioenergy. “It is about turning problems into resources,” he says.
His other publications dive deep into the intersection of food technology, public health, and data science. In Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology, he highlights how predictive analytics and AI are transforming contamination prevention. “Food safety is data-driven now,” Dogho explains. “Analytics let us predict risks before they occur.”
His background as both an engineer and a chemist gives him a dual-lens approach to process control. “Chemical contamination often begins during packaging or transportation. We need better monitoring at every step,” he writes in another seminal article examining contamination risks across the food supply chain.
Dogho’s commitment extends beyond the lab. He is a STEM educator, a science fair judge, and a recipient of several accolades, including the Dr. Eugene D. Scudder Graduate Student Teaching Award and the Dr. James A. Reeder Scholarship. “Teaching is where I see science meet impact,” he reflects. “When students ask hard questions, that is when you know you are shaping the next generation of thinkers.”
What is next for Moses Dogho? He envisions scalable, low-cost technologies for food labs in developing nations and is currently exploring collaborative research to design affordable, automated bioreactors. “Sustainability should not be a luxury,” he emphasizes. “It should be the standard.”
In a world grappling with climate change, food insecurity, and public health challenges, Moses Dogho is a beacon of interdisciplinary innovation.
Through science, mentorship, and a fierce dedication to safety and equity, he is not only redefining food quality control, but he is also ensuring a safer, smarter future for all.
