The Molecular Metabolism Conference: From Cell Biology to Systems Physiology
August 7–11, 2022
Nova Scotia, Canada
#MMCSRC22
Summary
August 7-11, 2022
This FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) was launched in 1993 in recognition of the cloning and characterization of a subset of the major glucose transporter isoforms. Over the ensuing years, the conference has evolved to embrace emergent topics in metabolic control mechanisms as they relate to chronic diseases and conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
The conference features important advances in glucose transport biology and research into the regulatory mechanisms that control glucose homeostasis and the interplay between glucose and lipid metabolism. Also, information on diseases beyond diabetes—such as cancer and brain health, as well as the role of the gut in systemic glucose control—will be shared.
The conference will bring together biochemists, cell biologists, physiologists, pharmacologists, and clinical investigators interested in metabolic diseases. The conference provides a rare opportunity for a divergent group of investigators to gather for a week of intense discussion and discovery.

Program
The conference's main focus areas are: 1) The cell biology of organelle interactions and metabolic crosstalk; 2) Cell signaling mechanisms of sensing and coping with nutrient stress; 3) The interplay of adipocytes and inflammation; 4) Adaptive remodeling of carbon and electron fluxes; 5) The integrative physiology of glucose and lipid metabolism; 6) The role of the gut in glucose and energy metabolism; 7) The impact of fasting, exercise, circadian rhythms on glucose control; 8) Glucose and energy metabolism in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases.
Conference sessions will present the latest research and foster discussion on:
The conference covers eight sessions and four poster sessions. We are delighted to have Scott Summers, PhD, (University of Utah) present the keynote lecture. Additionally, the conference features a “Meet the Expert” session for trainees and junior faculty to meet experts in the field and receive career and scientific advice, and a Career Development Workshop to facilitate discussions with scientists from academia, industry, and government.

Poster Information
For in-person posters used during the poster session, the poster board size is 4 feet tall (122 cm) and 8 feet wide (243 cm) so the size of the poster itself needs to be less than that. More instructions will be provided in an email one week prior to the event.
