Fostering Networking and Knowledge about Adipose Tissue Biology                 

Adipose tissue is well-recognized as the key metabolic homeostatic organ in the body and its dysfunction leads to the development of several comorbidities including diabetes or cancer. Interestingly, recent studies highlighted that SARS-CoV-2 replicates in adipose tissue, determining its organ tropism. Another purpose of this meeting is to foster the communication and scientific interchange among the participants. The Round Table and Poster Sessions are expected to catalyze discussions and found synergies between participants.

 The Program 

Registration and Abstract Submission

The Adipocyte Symposium will be held as on-site event without registration fees. However, due to the capacity of our Lecture Hall, an online registration of each participant is necessary in advance and requires a confirmation from the Organization. Only 30 spots are available. Thus, early registration will be favored as well as for those submitting an abstract. 

Registration and Abstract Submission deadline: 20th June (Extended Deadline: 28th June)

Registration and abstract communications will be confirmed by 1st July the latest.
