Neuronal Control of Appetite, Metabolism and Weight Organizer(s): Tony K.T. Lam and Matthias H. Tschöp Date: March 17 - 22, 2013 Location: Fairmont Banff Springs, Banff, AB, Canada Sponsored by AVEO Oncology Summary of Meeting: Obesity and Type 2 diabetes are associated with a disruption in energy, glucose and lipid homeostasis. Exciting new developments indicate a key role for the central nervous system in the homeostatic control of systemic metabolic processes. A goal of the Keystone Symposia meeting on Neuronal Control of Appetite, Metabolism and Weight is to bring together basic and clinical scientists from academia and the pharmaceutical industry studying neuronal control of appetite, metabolism and body weight or related complementary fields (such as addiction/reward, cellular stress, and inflammation) to share novel and relevant insights with relevance for human obesity, diabetes and metabolic disease. The meeting seeks to integrate existing knowledge with novel discoveries on central nervous system mechanisms activated by hormones or nutrients that regulate systemic metabolism. Meeting participants will discuss the latest research in this field along with future directions and perspectives that are relevant for both basic science and clinical research. Scholarship Deadline: November 14 2012 Discounted Abstract Deadline: November 14 2012 Abstract Deadline: December 19 2012 Discounted Registration Deadline: January 17 2013 Keystone Symposia thanks our Sponsor(s) for generously supporting this meeting: We gratefully acknowledge additional support for this conference from: We appreciate the organizations that provide Keystone Symposia with additional support, such as marketing and advertising: We gratefully acknowledge the generous grant for this conference provided by: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Grant No. 1R13DK098956-01 The views expressed in written conference materials or publications and by speakers and moderators do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services; nor does mention of trade names, commercial practices, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
