An Organ Systems Approach to Experimental Targeting of the Metabolic Syndrome
Short Course: An Organ Systems Approach to Experimental Targeting of the Metabolic Syndrome (July 16 - 26, 2012)
Hosted by the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
July 16 - 26, 2012
Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/diabetes/msshortcourse
Nashville, Tennessee
Want to learn how to probe multiple physiological systems that are impacted by metabolic disease, consider sending yourself and/or your trainees to this two week course. The objective of this course is to give students the tools needed to assess whether an experimental intervention alters macronutrient metabolism, energy balance, cardiovascular homeostasis or animal behavior. This course held at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine uses a combination of lectures, hands on laboratories, demonstrations and data problem sessions to give you the tools necessary to probe physiological systems. More information can be obtained at http://www.mc.vanderbilt.edu/diabetes/msshortcourse. Registration deadline: April 13, 2012.
