[CCoE Notice] April 25-Diabetes Research Lecture at UH

[Lewis, Lindsay R]

Friends of NSM Distinguished Lecture Series - Science Impacting Health and Society

Dr. Bruce Spiegelman will present "Toward a New Generation of Therapies for Diabetes, Obesity and Muscular Disease." The program is Wednesday, April 25, from 7-8 pm in the Waldorf Astoria Room of the Hilton University of Houston Hotel.

Dr. Spiegelman is a professor of cell biology and medicine at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School. He will discuss his research team's recent discovery of a novel hormone secreted from muscle cells that triggers some of the key health benefits of exercise. The protein, given the name irisin, is a promising candidate for development as a novel treatment for diabetes, obesity and perhaps other disorders.
