SUMMARY:2027 Horizons in Metabolism
DESCRIPTION:Horizons in Metabolism is a two-day symposium that brings together established investigators and exceptional early-career scientists to share cutting-edge advances\, build new collaborations and explore emerging directions in metabolism research. Presented by VAI’s Metabolism and Nutrition (MeNu) Program\, the symposium spotlights the next generation of leaders and examines important questions shaping the field and human health. The program also provides dedicated opportunities for networking and meaningful exchange among speakers and attendees throughout the two-day symposium. \nThe symposium will open with Rising Stars in Metabolism\, which showcases up-and-coming postdoctoral fellows whose innovative research is poised to deeply impact the metabolism field. \nThe second day\, Bridging Immunology\, Inflammation\, and Nutrition\, will explore how disordered immune function and inflammatory signaling drive many chronic conditions\, including cancer and autoimmune diseases. Understanding these mechanisms opens the door to nutritional and pharmacological therapeutics designed to restore function and improve patient outcomes. Speakers will tackle unresolved questions\, highlight new mechanistic insights and discuss opportunities for clinical practice. \nRegistration includes access to both days of the symposium\, breakfast and lunch both days\, and beverage service throughout the event. \nAttendees may also register for an optional networking dinner for an additional $50. Registration coming soon!
