Unlock Your Research Potential

We Can Help!

The Research Dietetic Practice Group (DPG) is an enthusiastic group of nutrition and dietetic professionals dedicated to improving understanding about the impact of food and nutrition on health and disease. The field of nutrition is multi-faceted—thus, DPG members have disparate research interests. However, the drive for evidence bonds us. Learn more about the members of the Research DPG.

The gut microbiome and prebiotics: a powerful synergy for health and prevention  

Our gut is home to the largest community of microbes that play a key role in maintaining host health and metabolic balance. In this symposium, you will learn what prebiotics are and what science demonstrates as their role in supporting health and in managing metabolic disease. There will also be a live technical demonstration session on fibers and what they can do in a food matrix to improve gut dysbiosis. Learn more here.
