Environmental Exposures at the Crossroads of Nutritional Immunology

Join us to discuss recent advances in how diet can improve inflammation driven by environmental exposures. This is an area that could have a strong impact on the development of precision dietary interventions for select populations. This session will specifically provide emerging evidence of how fatty acid-derived metabolites control aspects of inflammation induced by exposures such as ozone. Our expert speakers are conducting cutting-edge research on the boundary of nutrition and toxicology. Thus, the merging of these disciplines presents a new area of study.

Originally presented at NUTRITION 2024, ASN's flagship meeting which was held June 29 to July 2 in Chicago, IL.
