Technical Workshop on Probabilistic Exposure Assessment
November 9, 2023
Washington, DC, United States
Despite significant advances in risk assessments of foods and ingredients, exposure assessments tend to rely on deterministic approaches utilizing very conservative inputs. This workshop will focus on probabilistic exposure assessments which move away from single-point, deterministic exposure inputs.

Learnings and Challenges Developing the Largest Gut Microbiome Discovery Platform — From Bench to Commercial Application
June 30, 2021
Virtual, Event
Ten years ago, two scientists had a hypothesis that the body’s glycemic response to food was personalized and due to not just food, but the person eating the food. To prove their hypothesis they conducted the largest nutrition trials ever conducted and demonstrated that the gut microbiome has meaningful predictive value.

Scientists estimate that food allergies affect at least 32 million Americans, including approximately 6 million children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that food allergies in children have increased by 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, with an even higher increase for peanut allergies. Recent years have seen significant advances in understanding of responses to food allergens such as the development of dose-response models that hold promise for developing more informative labels on food packaging. This session will highlight new research and innovations to enhance food allergen risk assessment and management. These include novel, safe methods for accurate diagnosis of food allergies and severity, and new initiatives for optimizing large-scale research trials and enhancing patient care.
