| Diabetes & obesity: getting
to the heart of the matter
The Academy and the Royal
Society of Edinburgh (RSE) are holding
a joint symposium, Diabetes & obesity: getting to the heart
of the matter, in Edinburgh on Wednesday 26 May 2010. The event
will bring together researchers working at all levels across
academia, industry and the health service to review contemporary
findings and consider future developments in diabetes research.
Speakers will cover topics including epidemiology and genetics,
disease mechanisms, novel imaging approaches, and new therapies,
with the focus very much on horizon-scanning, rather than simply
reiterating what is already well known.
With support from the
RSE Scotland
Foundation, the symposium will include leading
scientists such as Professor Stephen O’Rahilly FRS FMedSci, University
of Cambridge (monogenic causes); Professor Andrew Morris FRSE
FMedSci, University of Dundee (societal change); and Dr Tim Rolph,
Pfizer (novel therapies).
