Main symposia

S6 Genetics, epigenetics, type 2 diabetes :
Genetics/epigenetics in T2DM
09:00~10:40 / Friday 12 October
Emerald hall B
Chairman: Hak Chul Jang, Min Ho Shong
Overview

Organizers: Hye Jin Lee, Tae Seo Sohn

This session entitled with 'genetics, epigenetics, type 2 diabetes' is translational session and designed to provide a place for clinicians and basic researchers to understand genetics and epigenetics in type 2 diabetes. In this session, a recent progress in genetics and epigenetic research on type 2 diabetes and genetics and diabetic complications will be presented and discussed. This session will contribute toward precision medicine and be first step toward better understanding the complex mix of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental influences in type 2 diabetes.

Novel players in the central regulation of metabolism
09:00~11:00 / Saturday 13 October
Emerald hall A
Chairman: Min Seon Kim, Lori Sussel
Overview

Organizer: Young-Bum Kim

This session entitled with "Leptin action, energy balance, hypothalamus" is basic session and designed to provide new knowledge in the field of metabolic physiology for clinical and basic investigators. This session will address the latest advances that are linked to the functions of hypothalamus in regulating energy balance and feeding behavior. This session will also focus on the role of intracellular signaling mediators in controlling leptin action, with a particular emphasis on the etiopathogenesis of leptin resistance in obesity. This session will have broad impact on the understanding of the basic biology of brain function in obesity-related metabolic disorders.
