The Medical Nutrition Therapy for Prevention (MNT4P) Program at Emory University bridges gaps in inherited metabolic disorder care, providing bench-to-bedside research, specialized training, and direct clinical care from newborn screening through lifelong management.
We are a multidisciplinary team conducting breakthrough research, training specialists worldwide, and supporting Georgia families with inherited metabolic disorders.
We’ve built MNT4P as a national model that integrates genetic metabolic nutrition research, education, and clinical care under one roof. Through our federally-funded consortium leadership, international guideline development, and groundbreaking clinical trials, we’re advancing the science while training the next generation of specialists in the genetic metabolic nutrition field that will ultimately benefit patients and families with rare diseases.
