Circadian Rhythms in GI Health and Diseases
In-Person Event
May 05 - 06, 2016
Chicago, Illinois, USAOVERVIEW
Circadian Rhythms in GI Health and Diseases is organized by Rush University Medical Center and would be held during May 05 - 06, 2016 at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
The targeted audience for this medical event basically for Gastroenterologists and Hepatologists.
Scientists, post-doctoral fellows, fellows-in-training, medical and PhD student, clinicians, clinician scientists, nurses, dietitians as well as allied health professionals are encouraged to attend. This symposium will provide the attendees a highly dynamic and interactive environment to discuss and learn about the impact that circadian rhythms may be having on a variety of GI/liver and metabolic/nutrition diseases.
The main objectives of this Circadian Rhythms in GI Health and Diseases are
•Foster an understanding of the importance of biological rhythms in GI health and disease
•Convey the factors that can disrupt central and peripheral circadian rhythms
•Identify the role of circadian disruption in various GI pathologies, obesity, metabolic syndrome, NASH, alcohol use disorders, brain/gut axis and GI cancers
•Demonstrate the possible mechanisms by which circadian disruption can predispose individuals to variety of GI-related diseases
•Discuss important research considerations caused by circadian oscillations of proteins and hormones in basic science and clinical settings
•Consider the potential implications of chronobiological approaches to prevent and treat GI diseases
The CME conference has been approved with 12.75 AMA PRA category 1 credits.
