8–10 August 2018, Sydney, Australia
5th International Vitamin Conference
The 5th International Vitamin Conference will be held at the InterContinental Hotel, Sydney from 8 – 10 August 2018 and is aimed at vitamin researchers in the world especially chemists, geneticists, nutritionists, dietitians, epidemiologists, clinicians, food scientists and physiologists with the theme being ‘Vitamins and well-being from womb to tomb’.
The conference will recognise the importance of vitamins both water and fat soluble in human health. It is over a hundred years since the discovery of vitamins when it was a major scientific achievement in our understanding of health and disease. In 1912, Casimir Funk originally coined the term “vitamine”. We stopped discovering more vitamins by the mid-twentieth century rather trying to understand the ones discovered till today. Every vitamin studied since to understand properties and functions in health and disease was a result of work done by epidemiologists, physicians, physiologists, and chemists. Clinicians soon recognized scurvy, beriberi, rickets, pellagra, and xerophthalmia as specific vitamin deficiencies, rather than diseases due to infections or toxins.
This conference will bring several vitamin researchers from across the world to Sydney Australia for the very first time to present the latest research in the field and provide a lot of opportunities to network and collaborate.
The PROMO CODE – EARLYSPECIAL can be used for the discounted price.
