INTRODUCING A VIRTUAL, GLOBAL, SCIENTIFIC, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

For over 50 years, the Abbott Nutrition Research Conference (ANRC) has brought together key experts and clinicians from around the globe to discuss scientific advances in nutrition. This year, the conference will focus on neuronutrition and the advancement of brain health through science from gestation through adolescence, providing an opportunity to engage with health care professionals worldwide.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the critical role of nutrition on brain development from gestation through adolescence

  • Explain the latest research on nutrition, dietary patterns, and human milk bioactives, and their potential impact on neurodevelopmental outcomes

  • Apply the latest science on nutrition and neurodevelopment to the daily practice of nutrition recommendations for patients and their families
