					Emerging Technology for Improved Diet and Microbiome Analysis
											Expand
					
Monday, July 1, from 4:00-5:30 p.m. Central Time
In partnership with the Nutritional Microbiology GEM.
Human research examining how diet and gut microbiome interactions influence health is underway globally in the form of large-scale cohort studies as well as smaller dietary interventions. Researchers working to identify new diet-gut microbe relationships face a lack of resolution and a high degree of variability in both dietary and microbial data.
New tools for dietary data collection, and gut microbiota analysis are rapidly being developed and existing tools adapted to help address these issues. As this field rapidly moves forward, we need to understand how to best apply new methods across varied study groups to obtain the most accurate and precise results possible.
By convening speakers with expertise in diet assessment, gut microbiology, and computational biology this symposium will address how novel methods in diet assessment, microbiology and machine learning/AI are being applied to advance understanding of diet-microbiome interactions in health and disease.

			Share Save Technology Innovations in Dietary Intake and Physical Activity Assessment: Challenges and Recommendations for Future Directions
		
Dietary intake (DI) and physical activity (PA) data are used in a variety of ways, including to determine nutrient adequacy and deficiency; to assess nutritional, fitness, and health status; to develop health promotion and behavioral interventions; and to understand food chemical and microbiological exposure, food–drug interactions, and pharmacokinetic effects. Methods used to capture these data must therefore be reliable and accurate to ensure confidence when determining quantitative DI and energy intake (EI), food behaviors, and energy expenditure (EE), especially for real-time monitoring and interventions. Moreover, because the underlying pathways and mechanisms regulating energy homeostasis are not fully understood, improved measures can help address challenges in understanding interrelationships between DI and PA.
