Scholarly Colloquia and Events

  • 2/17 Research Retreat

    We are planning an all-day Research Retreat on Saturday, February 17, at UConn Health in the Academic Rotunda with the purpose of fostering new collaborative projects. The retreat will feature presentations on the following topics: dense phenotyping in humans; immune metabolism; microbiome and metabolism; nutrition supplementation and metabolism modulation; and nutrition and aging. Breakout sessions throughout the day will allow all attendees to brainstorm, and we are soliciting the submission of topics/ideas. Participants in the breakout session will have an opportunity to present a slide on their topic of interest if they desire.

    We hope you can join us for this exciting in-person event!  Follow this link for program details and to register. Registration ends February 10, 2024. The deadline for submissions for the brainstorming sessions is February 2, 2024.
