Dr. Manuel Garcia is recognized for his contributions in food safety and microbiology. He is also known for planning and developing a Food Safety Road Map for the Philippines. His pioneering work on vaccine development from Fusobacterium necrophorum led to the elucidation of other pathogenic mechanisms associated with hepatic disease. He also developed a novel approach on improving nata de coco production efficiency.
