Prof. Carsten Carlberg, WELCOME2 ERA Chair holder, has held an open meeting with the staff of Reproductive Biology and Food Sciences divisions of the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research PAS.
The meeting titled “Nutrigenomics in Olsztyn: present and future” was a chance for prof. Carlberg to talk about his present research on vitamin D and about his vision for more general projects in the future. He discussed the impact of epigenetics ranging from embryogenesis to daily adult life, in particular in context of the immune system. The presentation included also an outline of the methods prof. Carlberg will bring to the Institute and the possibilities for collaboration with different groups within the Institute. The meeting ended with a Q&A session.
In the latest research of Prof. Carsten Carlberg and his Nutrigenomics Team we learn about potential molecular mechanisms linking vitamin D levels to the expression of genes involved in aging processes. A special attention was given to individual genetic variations affecting vitamin D metabolism and the potential for personalized supplementation based on genetic profiles.
4th international open seminar with Prof. Stine Marie Ulven, head of Nutrition Department at the Medical Faculty of the University of Oslo and coordinator of MSCA NUTRIOME network.
International scientific seminar with Kieran Tuohy, Professor of Energy Metabolism and the Microbiome at the University of Leeds (UK), specialist in nutrition, gut microbiology and the interaction between diet and the microbiome.
