crystal.schibler · June 10, 2020 ·

Michael Salinas has been named an Emerging Leaders in Nutrition Science Finalist, and a Graduate Student Research Award Finalist, a program of the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) to recognize the highest quality research presented by students and young investigators at NUTRITION 2020 LIVE ONLINE.

More than 1,000 abstracts were submitted by students and postdoctoral fellows and the Emerging Leaders in Nutrition Science program aims to recognize the top 15% highest scoring abstracts as finalists.  Abstracts were rated by more than 500 nutrition scientists.

Mr. Salinas’s abstract for NUTRITION 2020 LIVE ONLINE is titled
High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity Modulates Colonic Lgr5+ Stem Cell Homeostasis by Dysregulating Plasma Membrane Organization.

“Through this activity, the American Society for Nutrition celebrates the achievements of our rising stars,” stated Richard Mattes, PhD, MPH, RD, President, American Society for Nutrition.   “The Society looks forward to watching their future contributions to advance our understanding of nutrition science and practice.”
