ILSI SEA Region serves a catalytic role at local and regional levels to pursue new knowledge and scientific solutions to important public health issues. ILSI SEA Region also promotes the development of a harmonized approach for food safety standards and nutrition data collection and analyses in the region.
The Branch aims to maximize its impact on public health in the region through the activities undertaken under the governance of six regional task forces. These task forces address key global and regional issues such as obesity, functional foods, micronutrient deficiencies, and safety assessment of foods derived from genetically modified organisms.
To ensure and maintain a high degree of integrity, professionalism, capability and commitment, half of ILSI SEA Region’s Board of Directors is made up of academics.
