(J2) Keystone Symposia: Obesity - A Multisystems Perspective
Conference - Vancouver, Canada
The conference will:
• Discuss the latest discoveries on the role of multiple organ systems in the process of energy homeostasis and obesity, including the role of the central nervous system and white adipose tissue (WAT) depots, WAT development, brown fat, the microbiome, gut-brain signaling and circadian rhythms;
• Evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery and other treatments, as well as the latest genetic approaches to both common and rare syndromic obesity;
• Bring together a diverse array of leading scientists from the US, Europe and Japan to talk about breaking discoveries spanning a very broad array of physiological processes relevant to obesity and its treatment.
