"Investigating the Heterogeneity of Obesity": Mid-Atlantic NORC Seminar
Dr. Penny Gordon-Larsen is Professor of Nutrition and Associate Dean for Research at the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her NIH-funded research portfolio focuses on individual-, household-, and community-level susceptibility to obesity and its cardiometabolic consequences, and her work ranges from molecular and genetic to environmental and societal-level factors. Much of her research focuses on issues related to ethnicity, disparities and development of obesity over the lifecycle, with attention to pathways linking environment and behavior to cardiometabolic risk.

NIDDK Workshop: Pancreatic Pain: Knowledge Gaps and Research Opportunities in Children and Adults [Cancelled]
The purpose of this workshop is to explore recent developments in understanding the origin and mechanisms of pain in pancreatic disease, the relationship of visceral neural pathways and central pain centers, the role of behavioral factors and disorders on the perception of pain, and differences in pain perception and processes in children compared to adults. In addition the role of genetic risk factors for pain, and the mechanisms and role of placebos in pain treatment will be discussed. Methods of pain assessment including quantitative sensory testing will be examined, as well the process of central sensitization of pain. Finally, newer approaches to pain management including cognitive behavioral therapy, nerve stimulation, experimental (non-opioid) drugs, and cannabinoid compounds will be covered. Registration Deadline: July 03, 2020
Location: Omni William Penn, 530 William Penn Pl, Pittsburgh, PA 15219,
