<p> The fall Corporate Affiliates meeting features the Purdue Ingestive Behavior Research Center (IBRC), a research and training program of excellence in the analysis of ingestive behavior and its disorders. The goal of IBRC is to combine rigorous behavioral assessments, in human and nonhuman animal models, with equally sophisticated analyses of the physiological, nutritional, developmental, genetic, cognitive, sensory and environmental determinants of intake. The research group is interdisciplinary, representing 9 departments and about 30 members. In addition to the IBRC symposium, we plan to highlight two departmental Hot Topics that provide an exciting glimpse of new research directions. For football fans there is an opportunity to stay through Saturday for a historic rivalry, Notre Dame/Purdue!
