'Frontiers in Metabolism: From Molecular Physiology to Systems Medicine', Heidelberg, Germany
17 November 2014 - 17 November 2014
Germany
A conference entitled 'Frontiers in Metabolism: From Molecular Physiology to Systems Medicine' will be held from 17 to 20 November 2014 in Heidelberg, Germany.
Conversion and processing of small molecules by cellular metabolic networks provides the cell with the necessary nutrients, biomass precursors and energy resources. Metabolism has therefore traditionally been seen as a downstream effector layer in the regulatory architecture of the cell. Recent work, however, revealed that metabolism commands cellular and organismal physiology and is closely intertwined with multiple signalling pathways.
The purpose of this symposium is to offer an integrated view of metabolism and highlight the emerging concept that metabolism exerts an important homeostatic role on multiple pathways involved in human disease.For further information, please visit:
