The inaugural Yale Multi-Disciplinary Endocrinology and Metabolism Retreat will be held on Friday, Sept. 13 at the West Campus Conference Center. <\/p>\n
Obesity, diabetes, endocrine neoplasia, and osteoporosis are significant and growing health problems and Yale researchers are at the forefront of investigation into these diseases. This retreat will bring together members from across Yale interested in endocrine physiology and metabolic disease in order to strengthen existing interdepartmental research and training cooperation as well as to foster the development of new interdisciplinary programs. <\/p>\n
The retreat will begin at 8:15 a.m. with a welcome by Dr. Robert Sherwin, the CNH Long Professor of Medicine and section chief of endocrinology, followed by opening remarks from Dr. Robert Alpern, the Ensign Professor of Medicine and dean of the School of Medicine. The scientific program will consist of sessions devoted to hormones and cancer, the pathogenesis and treatment of type 1 diabetes, and metabolism and type 2 diabetes. It will include speakers from the Departments of Medicine; Pediatrics; Surgery; Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences; Comparative Medicine; Immunobiology; Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology; and Cellular and Molecular Physiology. <\/p>\n
Trainees and faculty will present additional research projects at a poster session. All talks are open to members of the Yale community. <\/p>\n
