# FASEB's "The Nutrient Sensing and Metabolic Signaling Conference"

> **NIH NIH R13** · FEDERATION OF AMER SOC FOR EXPER BIOLOGY · 2020 · $6,100

## Abstract

Principal Investigator/Program Director (Last, first, middle): Kimball, Scot R.
The specific aims of this FASEB science research conference are to meet to 1) present and
discuss the most current work on fundamental aspects of nutrient sensing and signal
transduction events in the modulation of health and disease; 2) bring together physician-
scientists and research scientists in diverse research fields to promote interdisciplinary
discussion and collaboration; and 3) encourage the attendance and participation of new and
young scientists such as junior faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows, with special
emphasis on women and under-represented minorities. Thirty-four senior investigators and up
to 8 junior investigators will serve as invited speakers. Poster sessions will permit all
participants to contribute, and an additional poster competition for trainees will provide special
attention and recognition for their research efforts. Dr. Laurie Goodyear, PhD, an international
expert in exercise and nutrient and metabolic signaling, will deliver a keynote address on how
maternal and paternal exercise and diet alter offspring metabolic health, followed by eight
sessions that broadly address current issues in nutrition and metabolism in diabetes, neonates,
and the elderly as well as a session on the interaction of nutrients and exercise in maintenance
of muscle metabolic homeostasis. The total number of participants will be limited to 200 to
encourage interaction and increase the opportunity for junior attendees to meet and discuss
research with senior scientists. The five-day meeting will be held August 9-14, 2020 in Nova
Scotia, Canada.
