Hello everyone!
I am thrilled to invite you to our upcoming MDPI Webinar, “Nutrition, Adipose Tissue, and Human Health.”
Join us for an interactive session exploring nutrition, adipose tissue, and their effects on health, metabolism, and aging. We have gathered a fantastic group of speakers who will share the latest research—from how the brain influences obesity, to the role of nutrition in healthy aging, and how cutting-edge genomics is helping us understand inflammation and metabolism.
This event is designed for researchers, clinicians, students, and anyone interested in the science of health and nutrition. Bring your questions and join the conversation!
I look forward to seeing you there.
