We’re excited to welcome back Dr. Michele Matta to LAU Beirut for an inspiring lecture on the intersection of nutrition and cancer prevention! 🌿🎓
👇 Here’s what to expect:
This lecture will reflect on her journey from nutrition studies to cancer epidemiology, drawing on her work at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and within the Cancer Prevention Europe Consortium. Insights into the critical role of nutrition in cancer prevention, the challenges of translating scientific evidence into public health action, and the importance of collaboration in shaping effective prevention strategies will be shared.
We will explore how large-scale studies, and international collaborations contribute to our understanding of cancer risk, with a focus on the European context and the development of practical recommendations like the European Code Against Cancer (ECAC). By connecting the science of nutrition to real-world impact, this session aims to inspire the next generation of public health professionals to contribute to a healthier, cancer-free future.
