The CENS’ mission is to bring together experts and researchers in nutrition and metabolic studies in order to develop an understanding of the stakes and to improve patient care. By bringing together researchers and industrial players in the agri-foods and pharmacy sectors, the CENS aims to provide solutions to nutrition-related health problems.
CENS is the result of collaboration between the Rhone Alpes Research Centre for Human Nutrition (CRNH), the Fondation Bullukian, Institut Mérieux, Institut Paul Bocuse, Laboratoire CarMeN, Nutrisens, Roquette and the SEB Groupe.
While Hospices de Lyon currently accommodates the centre, it will eventually set up at Lyon Sud Hospital, when its premises are finished.
Lyon will host the European Congress on Obesity on 9-12 May 2012 at its Conference Centre. Organized by the European Association for the Study of Obesity and chaired by Professor Martine Laville, this event will unite over 2,000 specialists from around the world with the same aim: to exchange on the various advances made in matters of obesity and related pathologies.
