Track 1: Micronutrient Biology and Status Assessment

Objective: Understanding the epidemiology and biology of micronutrient nutrition and implications for program design
Main Topics:
  • Absorption, metabolism and interaction of micronutrients
  • Effects of genetics, infection/inflammation, and other environmental exposures, on micronutrient status
  • Assessment of micronutrient status and epidemiology/global prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies
  • Functional implications of micronutrient deficiency and excess

Professor, Kings College London, UK

Kyly Whitfield,
Associate Professor, Mount Saint Vincent University, Canada
