    June 26 - 27, 2012

    Inositol Phospholipid Signaling in Physiology and Disease

    Organizers: William G. Kerr (SUNY Upstate Medical University), Christina Mitchell (Monash University, Australia), and Christian Rommel (Intellikine)
    Keynote Speaker: Lewis C. Cantley (Harvard Medical School)

    Examine the role of Inositol Phospholipid (IP) signaling in cancer, metabolic, and inflammatory disease. This exploration of the specificity and interplay of diverse IP-modifying enzymes aims to identify novel approaches for therapeutic intervention.

    Thursday, June 21, 2012 | 11:30 AM - 3:00 PM

    Lyceum Society: Prions

    Speaker: Arline Cohn

    The Lyceum Society is comprised of the Academy's retired and semi-retired members. Talks cover various scientific fields. All Academy members are welcome.

    Fetal Programming and Environmental Exposures: Implications for Prenatal Care and Pre-Term Birth

    Organizers: Sudhansu K. Dey (Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center), Susan J. Fisher (University of California, San Francisco), and Jeffrey A. Whitsett (Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center)
    Keynote Speakers: Frederick Vom Saal (University of Missouri–Columbia) and Randy L. Jirtle (Duke University)

    This 1.5-day conference will explore recent discoveries, challenges, and future research directions for understanding the complex gene–gene and gene–environment interactions responsible for fetal programming in utero and pre-term birth and the lasting adverse health effects.
