This working group will focus on basic, translational, and methodological foundational research in nutrition science. Integrated connections with other fields of study such as bioinformatics, neurobiology, and genomics will be encouraged and incorporated as needed. Recent topics of discussion include bioinformatic gaps in nutrition-related pathways, genes (e.g., transporter genes), and metabolites; meal-timing strategies for improving health, including circadian influences on nutrition and health; and the influence of nutrition on immune function.
