Focus on science: Nutrition tips for life at ÖGE symposium!

Potsdam-Rehbrücke, Deutschland - On June 12, 2025, the ÖGE early year Symposium will take place in Austria, organized by the Austrian Society for Nutrition. In cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection as well as renowned universities such as the MedUni Graz, MedUni Vienna and the University of Vienna, the scientific conference will offer a platform for current topics in nutritional science. The focus is particularly on questions about chronomed medicine and nutrition as well as new knowledge of obesity, type 2 diabetes, nutrition in cancer and osteoarthritis.

The event invites everyone interested to get to know the latest research results in this area and to discuss their importance for a healthy future. Among the diverse topics are innovative approaches such as Brainhealth Nutrition, the relationship between nutrition and mental health as well as practical recommendations for meals in hospitals. The symposium also focuses on the influence of nutrition and movement on muscle and joint maintenance as well as the challenges of nutrition in shift work.

research on chrononutrition and metabolism

parallel to the conference, the research of PD Dr. Olga Ramich, who has headed a Heisenberg professorship at the Charité-University Medicine Berlin and the German Institute for Nutritional Research Potsdam-Rehbrücke (DIFE) since July 1, 2024. The discipline examines how the time of food intake influences the metabolism and aims to develop new therapeutic approaches for the prevention of nutritional metabolic diseases. Ramich submitted a project application that was approved by the German Research Foundation and the title "When and what should you eat: chrononutrition for a healthy metabolism".

The basics of their research are based on the realization that the circadian clock of the human body controls biochemical and physiological processes. Your work is not only academic, but also has practical relevance, as the protime study shows, which examines the optimal time for protein intake in people with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. Ramich has written over 65 scientific publications and is a carrier of the Morgagni Prize and the Adam Heller Prize for her important contributions to chrononutrition.

The ÖGE early year Symposium and the research of Olga Ramich illustrate how important it is to promote new scientific approaches and knowledge in nutrition. The combination of trend -setting research and practical knowledge helps to sustainably improve the health of the population.
