Description

The Nutritional Immunology Across the Lifespan Conference” is part of the FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) series and will be held on July 30 – August 3, 2023, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Melbourne, Florida, USA. The meeting we will focus on the effect of nutrition on innate and adaptive immunity and include a special emphasis on how life stage is an important determinant of nutritional requirements and outcomes. Talks will range from basic mechanisms to clinical studies and will cover themes related to nutrition and infection, gut microbial health, inflammaging, neonatal immunity, and the brain-immunity connection. We will bring together leading scientists in the field to drive a discussion on this topic that is highly timely across a wide range of disciplines. In addition to hosting talks by established leaders in the field we will have several talks by early career investigators. Further efforts to support career development will include Meet-the-expert sessions and Career Development panel discussions.

Sessions include:

•            Impact of Diet on Innate Immunity

•            Diet as a Regulator of Infection

•            Role of Nutrients in Gut Inflammation

•            Diet and Inflammaging Session (2 sessions)

•            Nutrition and Neonatal Immunity

•            Nutritional Modulation of the Brain-inflammation Link

•            Obesity, Diet, and Inflammation Resolution

The relaxed schedule will offer numerous opportunities to enjoy the local attractions, especially the beautiful beach.

We strive to hold a diverse and inclusive meeting. Numerous travel awards will be available four young and under-represented scientists and several child care grants will available for caregivers traveling with young children.
