Dear INFOODS community:

 

The NATIONAL NUTRIENT DATABANK CONFERENCE (NNDC) is held bi-annually to foster communication among nutrient data base generators and users.  Participation is open to researchers from academia, the food industry, government and other interested parties.

 

Call for abstracts is now closed.  Abstract acceptance notice will be emailed to by Jan 6, 2020.

 

Conference Program

The 41st NNDC will be held in College Park, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, DC.

 

On April 19, Dr. Ruth Charrondiere (U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization) will lead an optional half-day pre-conference workshop on the development of food composition databases.  The workshop will be a condensed version of Dr. Charrondiere’s INFOODS e-course. 

We’re planning an exciting program, with a variety of presentations addressing our theme, 20-20 Vision for Food Composition Data: Promoting Public Health Worldwide. Keynote speakers will include:

·         Dr. Susan Mayne, Director, FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition

·         Dr. Johanna Dwyer, Tufts University and NIH Office of Dietary Supplements

Conference sessions will address food composition, dietary intake assessment methodology, dietary supplements, and much more!
