We are delight­ed to announce that our Doc­tor­al Researcher, Arsene Kanyamib­wa, has been accept­ed for an oral pre­sen­ta­tion at the pres­ti­gious Soci­ety for the Study of Inges­tive Behav­ior (SSIB) 32nd Annu­al Meet­ing. The event will take place from July 28 to August 1, 2025, at the Math­e­mat­i­cal Insti­tute in Oxford, Unit­ed Kingdom.

Arsene will present the lat­est study results on how high con­sump­tion of ultra-processed foods affects brain struc­ture. His abstract, enti­tled “Ultra­processed Food Con­sump­tion Affects Struc­tur­al Integri­ty of Feed­ing-Relat­ed Brain Regions Inde­pen­dent of and via Adi­pos­i­ty,” has been select­ed for an oral pre­sen­ta­tion in the ses­sion titled “Oral Ses­sion 5: Hot Top­ics in Inges­tion and Nutri­tion” sched­uled for Thurs­day, July 31 at 10:00 AM.

We extend our heart­felt con­grat­u­la­tions to Arsene for this sig­nif­i­cant recog­ni­tion and look for­ward to his pre­sen­ta­tion, which promis­es to offer valu­able insights into the intri­cate rela­tion­ship between ultra-processed food con­sump­tion and brain health.

For those attend­ing the SSIB meet­ing, we encour­age you to join Arsene’s ses­sion and engage in the dis­cus­sion on this crit­i­cal topic.
