In fond memory Phyllis Acosta, Ph. D.

The Southeast Regional Genetics Network (SERN) and Genetic Metabolic Dietitians International (GMDI) are proud to announce the Nutrition Management Guideline for very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD). This is part of a multi-year project to develop evidence and consensus-based guidelines for nutrition management of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). The VLCAD guideline is now publicly available online to all metabolic dietitians, physicians and other clinicians.

Congratulations to Nicole McWhorter, recipient of the 2018 GMDI New Junior Investigator Research Grant Award

Join us in congratulating GMDI President, Melanie Gillingham, PhD, RD, as this year’s recipient of the SSIEM Archibald Garrod Award! Melanie received this award for her paper, “Triheptanoin versus trioctanoin for long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders”. The Archibald Garrod Award is an annual award given by Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism to the lead author of studies that provide a comprehensive, representative analysis of the clinical features, treatment and outcome of an inborn error of metabolism, published in the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease within the past year. Congratulations, Melanie!
