Welcome


Dear Colleague,


On behalf of Wyeth Nutrition Science Center, we would like to invite you to join us online and be part of the 9th Annual Wyeth Nutrition Science Center Global Summit on Wednesday 25th of March 2020.
This year’s summit is dedicated to fostering dialogue between pediatric practitioners and experts on the latest advancements and future opportunities in pediatric nutrition. Such collaboration provides insights that can be applied to clinical practice.
Watch the webcast right here, engage with the speakers and peers by directly asking questions before the talks, download the slides and watch the videos again in your own time after the event has ended.
And make sure you don’t miss out on any of the event updates by signing up to our newsletter.

This year’s summit will cover a range of topics related to key development milestones for infants, with a focus on clinical and behavioral management. Areas covered include the development of the gut and its influence on immunity, the impact of bioactive nutrition as well as cognition and the development of the social brain via the gut:brain axis.

Participants will gain a better understanding of structural and functional development of the early brain and will be exposed to the latest information on the nutritional requirements for optimizing growth and development during the beginning years of life. In many cases, this data is newly published, often within the last 12 months, and the result of cutting-edge techniques and collaborations.

This international meeting will provide you with an opportunity to engage in our discussion, centered on the following objectives:

  • Recognize key components of early-life nutrition in infants and their role in brain, gut and cognitive development
  • Discuss the link between bioactive breastmilk nutrients, gut health, and immunity in early childhood
  • Apply early-life nutrition insights to current clinical practice and identify future opportunities for advancement

Join our online community and help shape and advance the conversation around pediatric nutrition!
