About this Event
Join colleagues from across Penn, CHOP, and Penn State for a day on food and nutrition research. The retreat will showcase Penn’s research infrastructure and core resources, spark interdisciplinary collaborations across schools and centers, and highlight emerging work from junior faculty.
The program is built around short research talks in five areas: GLP-1s and metabolic health, basic and mechanistic nutrition science, clinical nutrition and health outcomes, environment and toxicology, and food policy and population health. In the afternoon, a panel will discuss emerging challenges and funding strategies. The day closes with moderated breakout sessions over a reception, where small groups will generate ideas for collaborative grants and future initiatives.
