Gut2Behave Symposium - 21/03/2024

Gut2Behave symposium:
Interest of metabolomics approach in the study of metabolic and behavioral disorders
March 21^th 2024
Maisin auditorium, UCLouvain, Brussels
1 p.m. – 4 p.m.

The Gut2Behave project initiated from ERA-NET NEURON network (Joint Transnational Call 2019 - Translational biomarkers in brain disorders) gathered key experts in the field of nutrition, metabolomics, and mood and cognitive disorders. They will present the innovative data related to biomarkers involved in gut-brain axis to control emotional and cognitive functions
