Track: BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

This workshop will explore how different dietary components and/or temporal dietary intake strategies play a role in modulating inflammation and disease pathophysiology. Explore how specific nutrients via diverse regulatory mechanisms — transcription, GPCR signaling, post-translational modification and metabolic signaling — alter immune cell responsiveness.
Attendees will learn about integration of environmental cues with intracellular regulatory pathways to drive immune cell responsiveness.
Who should attend: Scientists focusing on cardiometabolic risk, nutrient signaling, inflammation and effects of dietary interventions on health.
