The Emerging Leaders in Nutrition Science Poster Competition aims to recognize the top 10% highest scoring abstracts.
Najmol Hoque, a doctoral student in the NDSU plant sciences department, has been named as a finalist for the Emerging Leaders in Nutrition Science Poster Competition, an award competition of the American Society for Nutrition which recognizes the highest quality research presented by students and young investigators at NUTRITION 2025.
The Emerging Leaders in Nutrition Science Poster Competition aims to recognize the top 10% highest scoring abstracts. Nearly 1,500 abstracts were submitted by students and postdoctoral fellows and abstracts were rated by more than 400 nutrition scientists.
Finalists competed in a poster competition on May 31 at the American Society for Nutrition’s annual flagship meeting, which was held from May 31 to June 3 in Orlando, Florida.
Hoque’s abstract for NUTRITION 2025 titled “Impact of Nitrogen Management on Nutritional and Antioxidant Properties of Hard Red Spring Wheat” was announced as the winner on June 2.
"Through this program, the American Society for Nutrition proudly celebrates the outstanding achievements of our rising stars," said Sarah Booth, president of the American Society for Nutrition. "We are excited to witness their continued growth and the remarkable contributions they are making in advancing our understanding of nutrition science and practice."
Hoque is advised by Shahidul Islam, assistant professor, of plant sciences.
