The UT Southwestern Obesity Alliance's weekly conferences on metabolism, nutrition, and obesity are being held at noon on Thursday in Room Y6.224 on the 6th floor of the Green Research Building in the Division of Endocrinology. They will emphasize human and translation research, but it is expected that all aspects of metabolism and nutrition as related to obesity will be considered. To the extent possible we will also invite out-of-town speakers. We hope that attendees of the conference will broadly represent the UT Southwestern faculty.
