The 5th International Symposium on Nutrition, Oxygen Biology and Medicine took place at Campus Des Cordeliers, Paris, France on the 5–7th June. This year’s conference, organised by the French Society of Free Radical Research, focused on development and ageing nutrition, epigenetics and lifestyle and the healthspan. The conference program covered a broad range of topics and sessions, and speakers included Food & Function Associate Editor, Professor Cesar Fraga.
Food & Function were pleased to sponsor a poster prize at the event, which was awarded to Abdenour Belkacemi (pictured), a Ph.D student at INRS-Armand Frappier Institute, Québec, Canada, for the poster “Curcumin protects neuronal-like cells against acrolein by restoring Akt and redox signaling pathways”. Congratulations to Abdenour on winning this prize.
