16th Euro Fed Lipid Congress and Expo
The Lipids Group of the SCI will host the 2018 Euro Fed Lipid Congress and Expo in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The theme of the meeting in Belfast will be the application of science, technology and nutrition to address the issues arising in our constantly changing world. As well as the usual Euro Fed Lipid Division streams, we will include a stream focussed on dairy fats, since this represents a large industry in Ireland.
Location: Belfast, UK

NIDDK Workshop: Autonomic Nervous System: Role in the Regulation of Peripheral Metabolism and Pathophysiology of Metabolic Disease
Objectives
- Increase attendees’ foundational knowledge of the role of the ANS in peripheral metabolism and metabolic disease.
- Foster interaction between basic and clinical scientists with expertise in metabolism and neuroscience.
- Discuss the limitations of technologies/methodologies for measurement of tissue-specific activity and function in humans.
- Build on the Common Fund–supported program “Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions” to expand the focus to metabolic disease.
- Identify research gaps in basic and clinical science.

Funding Opportunity Letter of Intent Due Date: Biomarker proposal at NIDDK Workshop for Biomarkers for the Diabetic Foot Consortium (DFC)
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a common complication of diabetes and lead to about 100,000 lower extremity amputations per year in the United States. Treatment of a DFU is costly, protracted and for many individuals, ineffective. The development of new therapies for diabetic wound healing is fraught with challenges, one of which is the lack of biomarkers to predict healing. The goal of the Diabetic Foot Consortium (DFC) is to validate biomarkers for DFUs through a network of clinical and biomarker measurement sites. The purpose of this workshop is to solicit biomarker proposals that could be studied in the DFC.
