Frontiers in Diabetes Research: Next Wave Science in Diabetes and Obesity
| Overview / Abstract: |
This one-day program at the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia University is designed for research scientists, clinicians and students with an interest in the latest insights with regard to the genetics of diabetes and obesity and the molecular physiology of the causes and consequences of these disorders. At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be better able to: • Identify advances in the technologies related to analysis of the genetics of human medical and metabolic phenotypes. • Describe the latest insights into the genetics of diabetes and obesity. • Identify the role of specific molecular processes such as ER stress and mTOR signalling in the relevant metabolic physiology. • Discuss the application of brain imaging and long term nonhuman primate studies to these phenotypes. |
