This meeting seeks to integrate existing knowledge on molecular
mechanisms of metabolism and metabolic disease with emerging knowledge
on the influence of hormones, nutrients and microbial flora that
influence systemic metabolism. Transient nutritional exposures during
critical developmental periods can induce permanent alterations in
epigenetic regulation that program metabolic and other biological
networks, with lifelong consequences. There is also growing molecular
understanding of the role of processes, such as ER stress response,
autophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation and hormone
signaling. The interaction of nutrition, epigenetics and human health is
a rapidly evolving area of research with many fundamental outstanding
questions and opportunities to translate basic science discoveries to
clinical and public health applications.
The 2013 Miami Winter Symposium will bring together leaders the field to discuss advances in our molecular understanding of obesity, calorie restriction, diabetes, aging and the microbiome as they relate to human nutrition.
