BP4NTA is excited to introduce Dr. Steven (Steve) Watkins as our March speaker! He will give his talk on
“Periodic Table of Foods Initiative (https://foodperiodictable.org/) – developing standardized analytical approaches and centralized data processing to characterize food supplies”
on Tuesday, 3/19/2024, from 12 pm – 1 pm EST.
The Periodic Table of Food Initiative (PTFI) is building a global ecosystem and providing tools, data, and training to catalog the biomolecular composition of the world’s food supply. We seek to enable data-driven solutions to improve human and planetary health. We have developed standardized analytical approaches and centralized data processing pipelines for untargeted metabolomics, lipidomics, glycomics, and targeted assays for minerals, fatty acids, etc., and we are working to implement these platforms in laboratories around the world.
