Confirmed speakers include: Professor Bruce Spiegelman, Professor of Cell Biology and Medicine, Harvard Medical School.

This high-level interdisciplinary meeting will review contemporary findings in the obesity-diabetes ‘epidemic’ and discuss the implications for future developments. The symposium will cover topics including epidemiology and genetics, disease mechanisms, novel imaging approaches, and new therapies, with the intention of horizon-scanning rather than reiterating what is already well known. With support from the RSE Scotland Foundation, the symposium will bring together leading UK and international speakers and participants from academia, industry, the health services and research funders.
