Annual Scholarships Were Awarded through
AOAC INTERNATIONAL and the Korean Nutrition Society
Herbalife Nutrition, a premier global nutrition company, in
partnership with AOAC INTERNATIONAL, an international organization
dedicated to setting the standard of analysis that ensures the
safety and integrity of foods and other products that impact public
health, and the Korean Nutrition Society, have granted annual
education scholarships and awards that support the research and
education of promising, eligible students and rising scholars with
a passion for nutrition, botanical science and improving public
health.
“Scientific research is a core principle of our business, and
we’re committed to supporting young scholars who wish to carry on
this important work that drives innovation and sustainability in
our industry,” said Mark Schissel, Chief Operations Officer at
Herbalife Nutrition.
In July, the first set of scholarships were awarded by AOAC
INTERNATIONAL to Brittany Macintyre, a Ph.D. candidate in the
University of Guelph’s bioinformatics program, and Jakub Tomasko, a
Ph.D. candidate majoring in food chemistry and analysis at the
University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague. The scholarships
support continued research to improve quality standards for
nutrition products, including analytical or molecular (DNA)
testing, with a special emphasis in botanicals, macro- or
micro-nutrients, or contaminants, which is critical to producing
safe products for consumers.
Another awards program, the “Herbalife Nutrition Young
Scientists Award,” provided through the Korean Nutrition Society,
supports sustainable development of nutrition research by
recognizing outstanding research of young university professors in
Korea. At its annual conference held on October 15, this year’s
award was given to Professor Bonggi Lee, Ph.D. of Pukyung National
University’s Department of Food Science and Nutrition for being the
best presenter during the Invited Young Scientist Research
Presentation Session, for his research on vitamin C.
The Company is committed to a 5-year sponsorship of scholarships
through AOAC INTERNATIONAL and awards for rising scholars through
the Korean Nutrition Society.
In addition to the financial support awarded, AOAC INTERNATIONAL
scholarship recipients will each also receive an all-expense paid
trip to Herbalife Nutrition’s headquarters in Los Angeles, CA to
present their research.
