Dear Colleague,
Hereditary metabolic diseases affect millions of children who are born with them every year. The fight to find therapeutics cures for these diseases is still on going. However, an even more disturbing trend has been growing throughout the 20th and into the 21st century in developed societies on a global scale. Cases of obesity and metabolic syndrome in both adult and child populations are at an all time high! Metabolic syndrome, which is associated with insulin resistance, high blood pressure, elevated tri-gylcerides, and visceral obesity, can lead to the development of metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. What are the treatments for those who have already developed diabetes mellitus? How can we prevent the progression of metabolic syndrome? Is there are pill to stave off the onset of obesity?
Come and join GTCbio for our 4th Annual Metabolic Diseases World Summit to find out answers to these questions and many more. This important meeting will be held this year in historic Boston, MA on November 6-7, 2008. The summit will bring together the leading experts on metabolic disorders from both industry and academia to discuss novel approaches and technologies to targeting the activators and inhibitors in the metabolic pathways as well as next generation targets. Come and gain updates on research and clinical trials being performed on metabolic syndrome, obesity, type 1 and 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Sessions for the include:
• Metabolic Syndrome: Cardiovascular Disease and Type 2 Diabetes
• Diabetes: New Therapeutic Targets
• Clinical Trials in Diabetes
• Metabolic Disease Drug Development
• Obesity: New therapeutic targets
• Obesity: Drug Development
We hope you can join your colleagues at this unique forum.
Best regards,
