Please register for the 2024 FASI Annual Symposium, focusing on ‘Understanding Body Defenses Against the Chemical Environment,’ scheduled for Friday, May 31, 2024. Jing-Ke Weng has been invited to discuss our research on the parallel evolution of chemical defense system expansion in plants and the enhanced ability of vertebrates to detect harmful compounds.
The FASI symposium unites hundreds of scientists and community members from various fields each year, all coming together to exchange information on their research. We believe food allergies are developed as a result of exaggerated defense responses to noxious substances that may have been inadvertently coupled with exposure of food allergens. The program will feature leaders in the field and provide an opportunity for collaboration with colleagues working on advancing the science of food allergy and beyond.
