Summary of Meeting
The incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing worldwide at an alarming rate – mandating intensive efforts to improve our understanding of diabetes pathophysiology, improve options for therapy, and most importantly, to initiate strategies for disease prevention in high-risk groups. This meeting will focus on recent advances in our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of insulin resistance, diabetes, and related syndromes, with particular emphasis on (1) multi-system nature of diabetes pathophysiology, (2) genetic basis of insulin resistance and diabetes risk, (3) potential links between epigenetic modulation of gene expression and diabetes risk related to “environmental” mechanisms, (4) pathways linking obesity, inflammation, and diabetes risk, and (5) new molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance. Moreover, the meeting will highlight novel pharmacologic targets for diabetes therapy. A key goal of the meeting will also be to facilitate collaborative interactions between basic scientists and translational clinical scientists focused on prevention and treatment of insulin resistance and diabetes.
