BACKGROUND

Food allergies affect millions of individuals and pose significant challenges to food safety management worldwide, including the Asia Pacific region. This trend has led to heightened concerns among consumers, healthcare professionals, and food manufacturers, emphasizing the need for more stringent regulations and improved allergen control measures. To address these concerns, regulatory agencies are continuously updating food allergen policies based on the latest scientific evidence.

Hosted by the Asian Life Sciences Institutes Network (ALSIN), comprising of ILSI Asia entities and Shanghai JS Life Sciences Institute, and co-organized with ILSI Global, this conference will provide a platform for scientists, experts, industry professionals, policymakers, researchers, and healthcare practitioners to explore the latest scientific advancements, challenges, regulatory updates, and risk assessment approaches in food allergy prevention and management. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions, share experiences, and develop strategies to address current and emerging allergen-related challenges.

Join us in Bangkok and take part in a vital conversation as we collaborate to advance food allergen management in the Asia Pacific region!

BACKGROUND

Southeast Asia is experiencing a demographic shift marked by rapidly aging populations, posing significant implications for healthcare systems, economies, and societal structures. Concurrently, scientific advancements are evolving our understanding of aging, and underscoring the pivotal role of nutrients, phytochemicals, and other bioactive compounds in disease prevention. Concepts such as "inflammaging" and immune-senescence have brought attention to the biological underpinnings of aging. These advancements highlight the importance of early intervention and upstream approaches, such as mid-life nutrition and targeting social determinants at early adulthood to mitigate age-related decline.

This 2-day symposium brings together the latest sciences and updates on innovative tools and evidence-based solutions designed to extend healthspan - or healthy years of life. It will also discuss policies, programs and regulatory considerations to support preventive care and reduce the growing healthcare burden of aging. Emphasizing the value of public-private partnerships and on-ground consumer engagement, this event aims to catalyze cross-sector collaboration in promoting healthy longevity.
