Vitamin D: Beyond Bone Conference
September 21, 2012

This 1-day conference will explore recent epidemiological data and the molecular mechanisms of action known to underlie the effects of vitamin D on pregnancy, lactation, and immune, metabolic, muscle, and cardiovascular function. Participants will also explore recent changes to vitamin D dietary guidelines as well as critical next steps in vitamin D research that will aid the translation of basic research and epidemiological data into public health strategies that support the health and well-being of infants, adults, and the aging population.

The conference is also accepting applications for abstract poster submission. Submit your abstract by Friday August, 17th for a chance to share your research at the conference.
