2019 Scientific Meeting of the Canadian DOHaD Society
Venue: Fairmont Tremblant in Mont Tremblant, Quebec

The 2019 Scientific Meeting of the Canadian DOHaD Society (http://dohad.utoronto.ca) will be held on February 11th &12th, 2019 at the beautiful Fairmont Tremblant in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. An exciting scientific program is planned which includes three thematic sessions: Epigenetics and Omics Mechanisms Underlying DOHaD, Vulnerable and At Risk Populations, and Solution-Oriented DOHaD Research. The program will include Keynote addresses by Tessa Roseboom (Principal Investigator, the Dutch famine birth cohort; University of Amsterdam) and Dr. Robert A. Waterland (Professor, Nutritional influences on developmental epigenetics; Baylor College of Medicine). The meeting will also feature talks by invited Canadian speakers and trainees, an Outreach, Networking and Collaboration event, as well as addresses and updates about the 2021 World Congress on DOHaD that will be held in Canada.

Aspen/Snowmass Perinatal Biology Symposium, Aug 24-27 2019
Venue: Snowmass, Colorado
Date: 24-08-2019 to 27-08-2019
We would like to invite you to attend the 2019 Aspen/Snow Mass Perinatal Biology Symposium, August24-27, 2019 in Snowmass, Colorado. This year’s symposium “Perinatal Exposures: Intersecting Mechanisms leading to Developmental Outcomes” will consist of 9 plenary sessions, including the Keynote Lecture and the DJP Barker Memorial Lecture, 2 poster sessions and 3 trainee workshops.
The 2019 Aspen-Snowmass Perinatal Biology Symposium, which is the 8th in a series, has the overarching theme of the development of healthy offspring and whether there are common mechanisms that determine the long-term consequences of compromised development. This Symposium will bring together clinicians and scientists, established senior and junior investigators, from clinical medicine, basic research and applied livestock production, and from around the world to report and discuss their findings in an atmosphere conducive to frank yet amicable exchange. This will occur via plenary sessions, poster sessions, trainee workshops, and informal discussions, with time dedicated to presentations by and recognition of trainees and early career investigators.
Register by November 15th, 2018 and save $75 off your registration!
We hope you will be able to attend this unique and exciting meeting and look forward to seeing you in Snowmass!

French-language DOHaD Society 4th Colloquium, Grenoble, 8-9 November 2018
Venue: Institute for Advanced Biosciences, Grenoble
Date: 08-11-2018 to 09-11-2018
The French-language DOHaD Society has 55 members, from both basic science, medicine and population health horizons. The 4th colloquium will be held in Grenoble, November 8-9 2018 https://sfdohad2018.sciencesconf.org. Lectures given by invited speakers will cover a large range of Dohad topics among which programing of the GH axis, micro RNAs in breast milk, offspring of mothers who underwent bariatric surgery, early adversity score and later health, nanoparticules and placenta. A large place will be given to the presentation of new results through both oral and poster presentations.
3rd European Summer School on Nutrigenomics, Jesi, Italy
Venue: Teatro Pergolesi, Jesi, Italy
Date: 25-06-2018 to 28-06-2018
The 3rd European Summer School on Nutrigenomics has the aim to improve the knowledge on the correlation between early life nutrition and adult health. To this aim, the school will focus on how the mother’s nutrition impacts offspring health and related consequences for future generations (transgenerational and intergenerational effects).
The education of young nutritionists and researchers working on nutrition and health requires the upgrade on the key role of mother’s life style in the modulation of health later in life, and the knowledge of molecular mechanisms determining the healthy or unhealthy phenotype represents a key goal for prevention and in the early biomarker diagnosis.
The goal of the 3rd European Summer School on Nutrigenomics is strongly linked to DOHaD research because both aim to clarify the early determinants of late onset diseases that represent main burden of health care system.
As you can read in the programme (http://d7.unicam.it/nutrigenomics/) early life will be treated by several point of view.
The school is open to 100 young researchers aimed to acquire new inside the modulation of epigenome by nutrition and xenobiotics during early life and across the life span.
