Summary
Join world-leading experts at the forefront of adipose biology, genetics, metabolism, and metabolic memory research for a one-day symposium on May 6, 2026.
The New York Academy of Sciences proudly presents “Adipocytes Futile Cycling and Metabolism: Innovations in Weight Management.”
This is an event bringing together top basic, translational, and clinical scientists to explore the latest discoveries in adipose futile cycling, the physiological roles that adipocytes play in obesity and cardiometabolic disease, and mechanisms of current and next generation weight management therapies.
Adipose tissue health plays a pivotal role in regulating metabolic risk, yet current therapies—such as GLP-1 agonists that primarily target appetite suppression—do not address the underlying dysfunction of adipose tissue or its influence on the “metabolic memory” of obesity. This symposium will convene leading voices in the field to discuss how advancing our understanding of adipose function can shape the development of next-generation therapies aimed at improving metabolic health beyond food intake control. Take Part in this exciting conference to explore the latest advancements in adipose tissue research and its crucial role in metabolic health.
Don’t miss the chance to engage with renowned experts, uncover groundbreaking studies, and discuss novel therapeutic strategies.
