Nutrition scientists are invited to share their research and join together with clinicians, policy experts, industry, and the media to network and learn for 3.5 exciting days in Chicago.
"I look forward to being together with the best in our field. From groundbreaking research to thought-provoking discussions, NUTRITION 2024 promises to be a knowledge-packed experience like no other," said ASN President, Dr. Kevin Schalinske. "I'm thrilled by the caliber of programming that awaits us in Chicago."
NUTRITION 2024 will continue to offer the latest research on the hottest topics in nutrition. Past and future topics include the relationship between diet and disease, artificial intelligence and health, precision nutrition, and ultra-processed foods — all covered by high-impact media outlets worldwide. The program will feature scientific symposia and educational sessions; original research studies presented in oral and poster sessions and flash talks; award lectures delivered by distinguished leaders; professional and career development opportunities; and small group sessions with ASN’s vibrant scientific communities.
“Being in the presence of the brilliant minds of the nutrition community in the vibrant city of Chicago fills me with excitement," shared ASN Chief Executive Officer, Dr. John Courtney. "Let's gather, share, and explore the future of nutrition together, establishing new connections to grow our progress to a healthier world through evidence-based nutrition.”
Original research in the form of abstracts can be submitted for presentation at NUTRITION 2024 beginning in early November. At NUTRITION 2024, the ASN Foundation will present scientific achievement awards to investigators at all career stages and recognize the ASN Class of 2024 Fellows which is the highest honor bestowed by ASN.

Innovative approach unveiled: Boosting terpenoid bioproduction via remodeling of isoprene pyrophosphate metabolism
2023-09-28
Terpenoids, the largest family of natural products, have gained significant attention for their diverse applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and biofuels. However, the efficient synthesis of terpenoids using engineered cell factories has been hindered by the limited supply of isoprene pyrophosphate (IPP), the key building block for terpenoid production. Now, a research team led by Jian Chen at Jiangnan University in China has made a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize terpenoid bioproduction.
In their research article published in the journal Engineering, Chen and his team unveil a novel approach to address the challenge of insufficient IPP ...
The University of Manchester secures major bioscience funding to harness the activity of microbiomes for a more sustainable future
2023-09-28
Scientists at The University of Manchester are set to receive a multi-million-pound grant to advance our understanding of interactions in microbiomes and how they might impact the world around us.
The research, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council’s (BBSRC) strategic Longer and Larger (sLoLa) grants programme, takes the first major step towards understanding complex microbial communities and will support the move towards a more sustainable and Net Zero ...
How a suction cup delivers medications to the bloodstream
2023-09-28
Many of today’s medications belong to groups of relatively large molecules such as peptides. They are used to treat a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, obesity and prostate cancer. Unfortunately, taking these medications in tablet form is out of the question in most cases because they would break down in the digestive tract or remain too large to reach the bloodstream. Consequently, the patient’s only option is to receive their medication via injection.
A group of researchers at ETH Zurich have developed ...
Scientists observe the influence of gravity on antimatter for the first time
2023-09-28
Scientists have demonstrated the existence of gravity between antimatter and Earth, reaffirming Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.
It is thought that Isaac Newton's historic work on gravity was inspired by watching an apple fall to Earth from a tree. But for decades, scientists have wondered what would happen to an “anti-apple” made of antimatter - would it fall in the same way if it existed?
Until now, the question has left scientists with an incomplete picture of the Universe's gravitating content.
In a paper published today in Nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN’s Antimatter Factory, which ...
NYU Tandon School of Engineering Researchers unveil tool to help developers create augmented reality task assistants
2023-09-28
Augmented reality (AR) technology has long fascinated both the scientific community and the general public, remaining a staple of modern science fiction for decades.
In the pursuit of advanced AR assistants – ones that can guide people through intricate surgeries or everyday food preparation, for example – a research team from NYU Tandon School of Engineering has introduced Augmented Reality Guidance and User-Modeling System, or ARGUS.
An interactive visual analytics tool, ARGUS is engineered to support the development of intelligent AR assistants that can run on devices like Microsoft ...
Specific interneurons are important in aging-associated cognitive decline, study finds
2023-09-28
Normal aging is usually associated with a decline in memory, although it is unclear what factors play a role. In a new study, researchers studied specific interneurons, which serve as communication centers that connect other neurons, in the regions of the brain that are important for learning and memory.
Increasing age places people at risk, whether it is because of a normal decrease in cognitive ability or due to postoperative cognitive disorders. In the latter, the deficits can persist for many months after surgery especially when the patients are older than 60. Unfortunately, the ...
New study provides evidence for more effective brain-based treatment of chronic back pain
2023-09-28
A new study in JAMA Network Open may provide key answers to how to help people experiencing chronic back pain.
The study, published today, examined the critical connection between the brain and pain for treating chronic pain. Specifically, they looked at the importance of pain attributions, which are people’s beliefs about the underlying causes of their pain, to reduce chronic back pain severity.
“Millions of people are experiencing chronic pain and many haven’t found ways to help with the pain, making it clear that something is missing in the way we’re diagnosing and treating people,” said the ...
A new twist on rechargeable battery performance
2023-09-28
RICHLAND, Wash.—For decades, researchers have assumed that the inevitable filmy buildup on electrodes inside rechargeable batteries is the driver of performance loss. Now, we know that view is backward.
The buildup of mossy or tree-like structured lithium metal deposits on battery electrodes is not the root cause of performance loss, but rather a side effect. The first direct measurement of the electrical properties at the boundary between the solid electrode and the liquid electrolyte inside a rechargeable battery is reported today in Nature Energy.
The study, led by a research team at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, shows that the so-called ...
Pharmacist-led intervention can improve medication adherence among Latinos with type 2 diabetes
2023-09-28
UCLA-led research suggests that diabetes control can significantly improve for Latinos when a pharmacist implements an intervention that addresses these patients’ barriers to medication adherence.
In this pharmacist-led intervention, pharmacists reviewed the patients’ lab results, vital signs, and barriers to adherence. They then used this information to design a personally-tailored intervention to boost medication adherence and optimize the treatment regimen.
The study is the first to evaluate a collaboration between pharmacist and physicians aimed at improving diabetes care in a large healthcare system among Latino patients, said study lead Dr. Kimberly Narain, ...
Decoding the complexity of Alzheimer’s disease
2023-09-28
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Alzheimer’s disease affects more than 6 million people in the United States, and there are very few FDA-approved treatments that can slow the progression of the disease.
In hopes of discovering new targets for potential Alzheimer’s treatments, MIT researchers have performed the broadest analysis yet of the genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic changes that occur in every cell type in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
Using more than 2 million cells from more than 400 postmortem brain samples, the researchers analyzed how gene expression is disrupted as Alzheimer’s progresses. They also tracked changes in ...
