2015 Workshop on Nutritional Biomarkers, October 28-29, 2015
The 2015 Workshop on Nutritional Biomarkers was held on October 28-29, 2015 at The Population Health Research Institute in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
A two-day workshop on diet-related and nutritional status biomarkers: A joint workshop of the Population Health Research Institute (PHRI) and the MRC Epidemiology Unit, Cambridge University.
