Nutritional Biochemistry & Metabolism

Nutritional biochemistry and metabolism explores how the body digests, absorbs, transports, and transforms nutrients into the energy and molecular building blocks that sustain life. Operating at the intersection of chemistry, physiology, and clinical science, Nutritional Biochemistry & Metabolism reveals the pathways through which carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals are processed at the cellular and molecular level. This session offers a rigorous platform to examine the enzymatic reactions, hormonal signals, and regulatory networks that govern energy balance, nutrient utilisation, and metabolic health. Delegates will explore how disruptions in these pathways contribute to obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions, and how a deeper mechanistic understanding informs more precise dietary and therapeutic strategies.

Bringing together biochemists, clinical researchers, physiologists, and nutrition scientists, the programme spotlights advances in nutrient metabolism and biochemical pathways alongside the analytical methods driving discovery in the field. This session is ideal for researchers, laboratory scientists, clinicians, academics, and graduate students seeking a stronger grasp of the molecular basis of nutrition. It is equally rewarding for those attending the Nutrition Conference to connect fundamental science with real-world health outcomes and emerging diagnostic tools. By engaging with these discussions, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how metabolic processes shape human health and how biochemical insight underpins the next generation of evidence-based nutrition and personalised intervention.
