Next-Generation Standard Reference Diets: Building Nutritional Rigor and Relevance Using Replicable Diet Formulations in Animal Models of Human Disease (NUTRITION 2026 On Demand Collection)
This course is included in the NUTRITION 2026 On Demand Collection.
Nutrition is a critical but often underreported variable in laboratory animal research, contributing to challenges in rigor, reproducibility, and translation to human health. This session introduces LANTERN, a collaborative initiative to develop standardized laboratory animal diets, universal dietary identifiers, and a nutrition registry to improve research quality and maximize the value of biomedical data. We'll explore how these efforts, combined with advances in bioinformatics and artificial intelligence, can strengthen confidence in preclinical findings and support more reproducible, translatable nutrition science.
Originally presented at NUTRITION 2026, ASN's flagship meeting which was held July 25-28 in National Harbor, MD
