Abstract

Prof. Livney’s lab focuses on biopolymers for food and health. They harness biopolymers for targeted delivery of health- promoting compounds for treating cancer, and for preventing diseases via dietary interventions. They also promote global sustainability and food security by developing novel alternatives to animal-based foods, based on biopolymers from new and renewable sources. For more details, please visit the website.

I’ve attached a calendar invite for the event and would appreciate it if you can share the information with your colleagues and friends. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you.

Best,
