The aim of the Dutch Translational Metabolism Conference is to bridge the gap between fundamental research, application in humans and validation at the population level. Ultimately, by assembling all junior- and senior metabolic experts, we want to create more insight into the prevention and/or treatment of metabolic diseases. We aim to do this in an inclusive manner, giving also junior scientists ample opportunities to engage in scientific discussions and to present their own research.

With PhD student Ligia Kiyuna and PI Maaike Oosterveer from UMCG, the PoLiMeR consortium took a leading role in the organization of the conference. Our PhD student Christoff Odendaal (UMCG/PoLiMeR) won a poster prize. Congratulations for these great achievements!
