4 DAYS TO EARLY BIRD DEADLINE – DECEMBER 11! The Canadian Nutrition Society (CNS) has organized a one-day conference on "Advances in Protein Nutrition Across the Lifespan." While our knowledge of dietary protein continues to grow, so too does confusion surrounding the latest scientific discoveries. By attending this one-day conference with leading experts you will learn about up to date current perspectives on the impact of protein on human health with special consideration for life cycle stage and clinical applications. This meeting is geared towards all health professionals including physicians, dietitians and researchers. Join us for an exciting day of presentations.
OUR FEATURED SPEAKERS OF THE WEEK Robert R. Wolfe, PhD University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
Dr. Wolfe is currently the Wormack Chair in Nutritional Longevity, Professor of Geriatrics, and Director, Center for Translational Research in Aging and Longevity at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He previously held faculty positions at Harvard Medical School and also The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. He has published more than 450 peer-reviewed papers that have been cited more than 13,000 times since 1995. In addition, Dr. Wolfe has authored more than 150 reviews and text chapters, as well three books on stable isotope tracer methodology that are widely considered to be the standard in the field. Dr. Wolfe's research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health continuously since 1975. The major focus of Dr. Wolfe's research has been the metabolic basis for specialized nutritional therapy of specific medical problems with particular focus on protein metabolism.

Stéphanie Chevalier is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine and cross-appointed to the School of Dietetics and Human Nutrition, McGill University. She graduated in dietetics (B.Sc, R.D., 1989), and completed a M.Sc. (1991) and a Ph.D. (1997) degree in nutrition, from the University of Montreal. She completed postdoctoral studies in nutrition and metabolism at the McGill Nutrition and Food Science Centre under the supervision of Drs. José A. Morais and Errol B. Marliss. Her research program focuses on alterations in protein metabolism and the role of nutrition in aging, cancer cachexia, obesity and type 2 diabetes, in humans. Her work involves stable isotope tracer methodology and mass spectrometry with modeling to quantify metabolic fluxes in humans. She is a Research Scholar-Junior 2 from the Fonds de la recherche Santé-Québec. Her work is supported by the CIHR, Dairy Farmers of Canada and the MUHC-Research Institute.
