Dietary Manipulations for Health and in the Prevention and Management of Disease 2026

08 Apr 2026 08:30 - 09 Apr 2026 17:00 - Manchester Metropolitan University All Saints Manchester M15 6BH

Over two days, we will bring together an interdisciplinary community of internationally leading and early career researchers to showcase the latest advances in nutritional physiology.

Programme themes include personalised responses to nutrition, the emerging roles of milk sugars in health, ketogenic diets for health and performance, metabolism in neuromuscular disease, nutrition and brain vascular health, and the impact of ethnicity on the development of cardiometabolic disease.

Poster and oral sessions will allow early career researchers to present original work and spark discussion, while networking activities will foster collaboration between scientists, clinicians, and practitioners.

The meeting will focus on identifying knowledge gaps, addressing challenges in translation, and exploring opportunities to enhance understanding of diet in health and disease.
