Description:

On Thursday, September 19, 2024, the Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center will host the Midwest Metabolism Meeting (M3), a symposium that aims to facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge and discoveries in the realm of metabolism & diseases, specifically from laboratories located in the Midwest. This event will bring together students and postdoctoral fellows from various Midwest metabolism labs, creating a platform for collaboration and meaningful discussions between trainees and Principal Investigators in the field. The symposium will feature presentations from students and postdocs, along with a keynote lecture by Dr. Richard DiMarchi, a world leader in macromolecular medicines and the development of peptide mimetics for treating diabetes and obesity.

To encourage active participation, all trainees are invited to submit abstracts for poster presentations. The best abstracts will be selected for a 15-minute oral presentation, offering an excellent opportunity for showcasing impactful research. This exciting scientific gathering provides a unique opportunity for participants to engage in discussions, share insights, and build connections within the metabolism research community in the Midwest.
