Diabetes January 22 26, 2017 Keystone Conference Center Keystone, Colorado Scientific Organizers: Jiandie Lin, University of Michigan Medical School, Clay F. Semenkovich, Washington University School of Medicine, Rohit N. Kulkarni, Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard Medical School, Part of the Keystone Symposia Global Health Series, supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Joint with the conference on Obesity and Adipose Tissue Biology Diabetes has reached alarming proportions worldwide, and the need for new therapies is great. Exercise and bariatric surgery are known to elicit profound metabolic benefits in type 2 diabetes, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The possibility of altering metabolism through RNA-based therapies is also intriguing. This conference will bring together a diverse array of scientists from academia and industry, thereby facilitating knowledge exchange and interactions, leading to elucidation of better treatments. Joint sessions with the simultaneous conference on Obesity and Adipose Tissue Biology will create provide opportunities for synergies. Specifically, the conference will examine recent advances in understanding of brown/beige adipose tissue function; endocrine, paracrine and nutrient signaling; molecular mechanisms of metabolic signaling; emerging topics, including long noncoding RNA and the influence of the gut microbiome; and new approaches to drug development for treating diabetes and obesity. Session Topics: Brown/Beige Fat Activation and Function (Joint) Exercise and Type 2 Diabetes Interorgan Metabolic Cross-Talk via Secreted Factors (Joint) Long Noncoding and MicroRNAs and Metabolism Gut Microbiome and Bariatric Surgery (Joint) Substrate Flux and Metabolic Signaling Mechanisms of Nutrient Signaling Emerging Topics in Diabetes plus two workshops Global Health Travel Award Application Deadline: August 23, 2016 Scholarship Application & Discounted Abstract Deadline: September 22, 2016 Abstract Deadline: October 25, 2016 Discounted Note: Scholarships are available for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and are awarded based on the abstract submitted. Global Health Travel Awards are for investigators from low and middle income countries.
