Lab travels
Posted on June 9, 2019
Stefan and Atefeh will be attending the FASEB meeting on “The Regulation of Glucose Metabolism” in Palm Spring, CA from June 16-21, 2019. Stefan will be giving a talk on his work showing that circadian glucocorticoid oscillations are required to maintain functional brown adipose tissue and what the underlying molecular mechanisms are. Atefeh will be presenting her work in which she is using quantitative single-cell fluorescence microscopy approaches to understand how CEBPB, a key adipogenic transcription factor, has divergent regulation of adipogenesis and insulin sensitivity depending on the timing and order of when it is expressed and offers a potential control mechanism for reverting insulin resistance under inflammatory conditions. Mary will be speaking the same week at the Gordon Research Conference on Developmental Biology in Mount Holyoke, MA.
