Register for Colloquium on Obesity and Metabolism Research at Duke

Register below to attend the Colloquium on Obesity and Metabolism Research at Duke (COMRAD), which will be held Fri., Oct. 25 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Trent Semans Center. The goal of COMRAD is to develop collaborative, interdisciplinary research at Duke that will address major obesity-related public health issues by incorporating the full translational spectrum of research methods:

• Molecular, metabolomic, genetic mechanisms, using animal models and human biomarkers
• Discovery of new potential targets of therapy
• Development and testing of novel clinical interventions: pharmacologic, dietary, lifestyle, m-Health, e-Health, surgical
• Development and testing of novel systems interventions: health services, environmental, and policy

We will have a series of keynote talks and small, breakout sessions to frame the issue of obesity and discuss issues of policy, basic and clinical/implementation science. Contact Susan Gurley for more information. This event is sponsored by the School of Medicine's Interdisciplinary Colloquia series that bring together basic science, translational and clinical faculty members with common interests in a biomedical problem or area.
