8th Annual Obesity Research Incubator Session

The Cardiovascular, Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders (CVDM) Research Center cordially invites you to participate in its 8th annual obesity incubator session. The goal of this session is to bring together BWH clinicians and researchers working in the fields of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease to address this challenging public health crisis by promoting cross-collaborative research efforts and stimulating new ideas for further investigation.

To promote vibrant scientific discussions, the plenary session will feature short talks by selected junior investigators in the field of obesity research, followed by a keynote presentation from Caroline Apovian, MD, director of the Nutrition and Weight Management Center at the Boston University Medical Center and professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. Following the talks, there will be an interactive poster session focusing on early stage ideas in the areas of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
