Symposium on the Natural Management of Chronic Inflammation

14th International Conference of FFC - Second International Symposium of ASFFBC: Functional Foods and Bioactive Compounds in the Management of Chronic Inflammation: Science and Practical Application; August 20-22, 2013, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), USA.

Dallas, TX, USA (July 13, 2013) -- Founded by the Functional Food Center (FFC) in August, 2012, the Academic Society of Functional Foods and Bioactive Compounds (ASFFBC) currently has over 2000 members (medical doctors, scientists, dietitians, nutritionists, and other food and medical industry professionals from around the world) who are dedicated to the research and development of functional and medical foods, bioactive compounds, and nutraceuticals.

In order to increase the awareness of bioactive compounds and their ability to improve overall health and wellness, the ASFFBC organizes annual international symposiums where the latest research discoveries in functional foods and bioactive compounds are collected, discussed, and shared.

In partnership with the University of California, Los Angeles, the ASFFBC is very happy be finalizing the organization of its Second International Symposium. This symposium will be held from August 20 - 22, 2013 at UCLA and will focus on the function of bioactive compounds in the management and prevention of chronic inflammation. This symposium will feature 30 lecturers from all around the world who are experts in food industry, medical industry, biology, nutrition, or chronic disease management and prevention. In addition, five special lecturers will be in attendance!

Anahid Jewett, PhD, professor, tumor immunology laboratory director, Division of Oral Biology and Medicine at the Jane and Jerry Weintraub Center for Reconstructive Biotechnology, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, USA. The ASFFBC is very excited to have Dr. Jewett present her discoveries on the role of probiotic bacteria in the management and prevention of chronic disease!

Danik Martirosyan, PhD, UT Southwestern Medical Center, President of Functional Food Center, Dallas, TX, USA. Symposium attendees will gain valuable information from Dr. Danik’s presentation on the process of creating a successful functional food product using Squalene, Vitamin C, Lycopene, and GOPO!

Garth L. Nicolson, PhD, Professor, Department of Molecular Pathology, Institute for Molecular Medicine, S. Laguna Beach, California, USA. The ASFFBC is happy to have Dr. Nicolson present his research findings on the ability of certain functional foods to reduce the fatigue associated with chronic Lyme disease.

Julius E. Oben, PhD, Professor, Laboratory of Nutrition and Nutritional Biochemistry, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Yaounde, Yaounde, Cameroon. The ASFFBC welcomes Dr. Oben, and is very excited to hear his presentation on the anti-inflammatory effects of a certain Cameroon spice extract!

Hisham Ibrahim, PhD, professor, Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences, Kagoshima University, Kagoshima, Japan. Dr. Ibrahim strives to engineer bioactive compounds for the potential management or prevention of infectious diseases. It will be very interesting to hear Dr. Ibrahim’s presentation on biopeptides and their potential use in the management of chronic inflammation.
