Training: Endocrinology and Metabolism – T06
This special emphasis panel reviews training and career development applications in the general area of endocrinology and metabolism, covering scientific areas across all EMS study sections, including those that invoke mammalian systems, model organisms, translational and clinical settings. Applications from a broad spectrum of research related to all aspects of general endocrinology are considered.
Topics
- Physiological, pathophysiological, and molecular and cell biological processes involving hypothalamic, pituitary, pineal, thyroid, adrenal, gonadal, and pancreatic hormones. Invokes mammalian and non-mammalian systems, model organisms, and clinical studies.
- Basic cell biology, development of genetic tools, and translational studies on Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
- Insulin regulation, insulin resistance, and mechanisms of glucose transport.
- Pancreatic islet cell development, differentiation, Islet cell replication, and stem cell biology.
- Adipocyte development and function and communication with other endocrine organs and tissues.
- Endocrine regulation and inflammatory pathways modulating metabolic syndrome, obesity, and inflammatory pathways diabetes in aging.
