Islet Biology : From Cell Birth to Death (X5) 2016 is organized by Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology and would be held during Mar 13 - 17, 2016 at Keystone Resort - Keystone, Colorado, United States of America. This Keystone Symposia meeting will cover innovative research in all aspects of islet biology, from the developmental origin of endocrine cell types in fetal life, to beta-cell failure in type 2 diabetes.
The specific goals of the conference are to:
1) Present unpublished data that cover critical knowledge gaps in the field
2) Evaluate the state of the art of novel therapeutics for diabetes, including cell replacement therapies
3) Provide training for young investigators in the field. New international collaborations fostered by this conference should accelerate progress in this important field of biomedical research.
