ENDO 2016 PREVIEW: How to Make the Most of ENDO 2016

For clinical endocrinologists and basic scientists alike, ENDO presents the best opportunity to acquire new knowledge and make valuable connections. And this year’s annual gathering offers new and enhanced programming designed to elevate your career and improve your practice.

Insight into Top Issues — Basic Science Pathways
Basic scientist attendees now benefit from comprehensive, concentrated coverage of three of the most in-demand areas in endocrinology: G protein-coupled receptors, neuroendocrinology, and nuclear receptors.

These Science Pathways feature coordinated session locations, complementary programming, and unique opportunities to network with like-minded peers:

• GCPRs — Explore this diverse class of receptors and learn how novel therapeutics are being developed through the study of so-called orphan receptors, receptor structure, and downstream signaling.
• Neuroendocrinology — Discover the latest research on how a small number of hypothalamic neurons control critical body functions—and how patterned output of peripheral hormones can modify learning, memory, libido, and other brain functions.
• Nuclear receptors — Investigate the role of nuclear receptors in health and disease, including regulation at the genomic level, receptor crosstalk, transrepression, and signaling.

Kick Start Your ENDO Experience — Preconference Events and Early Career Forum
What’s better than four full days of ENDO? An entire fifth day of the workshops, symposia, and sessions that make ENDO a can’t-miss event.

Extend your time in Boston with a March 31st slate that features workshops on Obesity Management and Diabetes Diagnosis and Management. The popular Obesity Management workshop investigates advanced practice challenges and highlights emerging treatments, prevention, and diagnosis. In Diabetes Diagnosis and Management, expert faculty will discuss the latest in cardiometabolic co-morbidities and treatment.

Postdoctoral fellows, clinical fellows, medical students, and graduate students will also gather a day early for networking and education during the Early Career Forum. The forum features career symposia, plenaries on translational research, two educational session tracks, clinical and basic career breakouts, and practical advice on publishing, CVs, and more.
