OMICS APPROACHES TO EARLY LIFE PROGRAMMING OF ADULT HEALTH

When: 16-19  June 2026

Where: work in progress

Summary

The area of “Omics in early life” offers a wealth of fascinating and impactful topics, uncovering how early-life molecular mechanisms shape adult health and influence the trajectory of healthy longevity.

The 6th European Summer School on Nutrigenomics will advance scientific knowledge for improving early-life healthcare and develop actionable strategies for promoting lifelong well-being

Within this area, the following topics will be explored:

1. Transcriptomics in Brain Development: Investigating RNA expression changes in neural tissues during critical periods of brain growth and their implications for neurodevelopmental disorders.

2. Epigenomics in Early Development: Examining how early-life environmental exposures (e.g., diet, stress, toxins) shape epigenetic modifications and influence gene expression throughout life.

3. Microbiomics and Gut Health: Investigating the establishment of the microbiome during infancy and its impact on immune system development, metabolism, and long-term health.

4. Metabolomics and lipidomics in Neonatal Nutrition: Studying the metabolic and lipid profiles and their connections to growth, cognitive development, and disease prevention.
