2012 Innovations Symposium: New Insights in Human Evolution and IBD
Conference - Chicago, United States
The Kenneth Rainin Foundation is a private family foundation that funds inspiring and world-changing work. We are dedicated to supporting effective early childhood literacy programs, enabling inspiration through the arts and creating opportunities for novel approaches and alternative treatment options for those with chronic disease.
Chronic inflammatory diseases are the most common ailments affecting humanity. They are on the rise worldwide and believed to result from the interplay between genes and environmental stimuli.
Using inflammatory bowel disease as a lens, this meeting will bring together preeminent investigators in human evolution, genetics, microbiology and the environment to describe and explore how advances in each of these fields can promote out-of-the-box thinking and foster breakthroughs in our understanding of mechanisms of disease and therapy for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
In this unique first-of-its kind one-day symposium, senior leaders in each discipline will discuss their work, with ample time dedicated to audience participation to draw connections across these distinct but related disciplines and set new directions for the future.
