Basal Metabolism & Molecular Mechanism in Diabetes
The aim of the course is to introduce students to basal metabolism and the pathophysiology of diabetes at the molecular level as a basis for the diagnosis and the treatment of specifically type 2 diabetes.
The programme includes sessions covering Basal concepts and overview of metabolic diseases, Patophysiologies in Diabetes I (pancreas), Treatment of metabolic diseases and Patophysiologies in Diabetes II (nephropathy, wound healing).
TIME & PLACE
Dates: 25-27 November 2019
Venue: Sinatur Hotel Storebælt, Østerøvej 121, 5800 Nyborg
WHO CAN ATTEND?
The course is intended PhD candidates in molecular metabolism, diabetes, endocrinology and cardiology, as a postgraduate segment towards their PhD
