2015 Graduate Group in Nutritional Biology Student Symposium
The Graduate Group in Nutritional Biology (GGNB) recently held its annual Student Symposium at the Buehler Alumni Center. The GGNB Student Symposium gives students an opportunity to present their research findings at a professional meeting. Students gave presentations and attended poster sessions where they met with symposium attendees to discuss their research.
General themes covered at the symposium included:
- International and Community Nutrition
- Dietary Behavior and Nutrition Education
- Molecular and Cellular Biology/Micronutrients
- Pre-and Probiotics
