Science Researcher Update: Spotlight on Meetings, Conferences, and Events

 

Conference - Steamboat Springs, CO, United States

 

This FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) focuses on the growth hormone (GH)/prolactin (PRL) family of hormones influence the progression of such major health problems as obesity, diabetes, aging, mental health and multiple cancers, in addition to their role in body growth and lactation. The FASEB Science Research Conference on "The Growth Hormone/Prolactin Family in Biology and Disease" seeks to bring together researchers and clinicians from academia and industry to share unpublished data and provide a forum for lively discussions amongst colleagues from as wide a set of backgrounds as possible. The objective is to improve our understanding of how GH/PRL family proteins modulate health and disease processes, and accelerate the discovery of new drugs. The topics to be covered by the invited speakers include stem cells, pain, inflammation, angiogenesis, fetal programming, epigenetic regulation, new drug targets/pre-clinical studies, novel animal models, nanoscale techniques, and GH and PRL secretion, signaling, and regulation of gene transcription. A major aim is to nurture the careers of young investigators by providing the opportunity to present short talks and posters, and allowing ample opportunities for networking with invited speakers, other leaders in the field, and their peers.
