Join us to discuss recent advances in how diet can improve inflammation driven by environmental exposures. This is an area that could have a strong impact on the development of precision dietary interventions for select populations. This session will specifically provide emerging evidence of how fatty acid-derived metabolites control aspects of inflammation induced by exposures such as ozone. Our expert speakers are conducting cutting-edge research on the boundary of nutrition and toxicology. Thus, the merging of these disciplines presents a new area of study.
