Nutrition Lab

Overview

The objective of the Nutrition Lab is to compile research and resources and convene outcome-oriented meetings for those who are dedicated to tackling nutrition related problems. We place special emphasis on issues surrounding undernutrition as well as overnutrition, particularly in the Asia-Pacific.

The work of our Nutrition Lab will directly contribute to the agenda and content of Pacific Health Summit 2008, whose theme is "The Global Nutrition Challenge: Getting a Health Start."
