The goal of the Research Workshop, The Effect of Nutrition on Epigenetic Status, Growth, and Health, is to focus on influence of nutrition and dietary exposure to xenobiotics on the epigenome during critical periods in development and how these exposures influence disease incidence and severity over multiple generations.

Objectives:

Summarize clinically relevant and cutting-edge research on the mechanisms by which nutrition modulates the epigenetic risk for disease in adulthood, thus bridging basic research and clinical care
Translate science by fostering communication and collaboration among interdisciplinary researchers and clinicians thus bringing research from bench to bed-side
