Diet and Optimum Health 2025
September 9-10, 2025
Thank you to all the speakers, sponsors, and attendees who joined us to explore the innovations and new ideas shaping precision nutrition and health span research!
This year’s conference featured 22 researchers from across the United States and beyond. From innovations in bench and data science to the challenges of communicating and implementing new knowledge, the presentations and discussions further inspired our shared desire to help people live longer, healthier lives.
Congratulations to the Early Stage Researcher Award winners: Hannah D. Kittrell (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai), Emilee Lance (Department of Microbiology, Oregon State University), and Phoebe Lee (Department of Chemistry, Oregon State University).
The ESR award competition aims to encourage early-career scientists to pursue research on the roles of diet, bioactives, and micronutrients in human health and disease.
