Symposia

The PSU Center for Nutrigenomics was a major player in the development of the Summer Symposia Series in Molecular Biology. The 28th Summer Symposium in Molecular Biology, "Genes, Nutrition, and Physical Activity: Understanding Obesity from Conception and Beyond.", was held August 11-14, 2009 at Penn State's University Park Campus.
