Genomics and Obesity
 

Diogenes - Hepadip - NuGO

All three projects are part of the Priority Area Food Quality and Safety of the European Commission's
Framework Programme 6. Each has a large consortium of participating partners, from countries across
the EU and beyond. Diogenes and Hepadip are research projects studying various aspects of the obesity
problem and adipose tissue metabolism. NuGO is a Network of Excellence facilitating best practice
and technology development in nutrigenomics in Europe. Full details can be found on the websites
(links below).

The course, hosted by INSERM, Toulouse, France consisted of a number of presentations and two
interactive exercises. The organisers recognised that the material could be a useful introduction
for others interested to learn more about the molecular basis of obesity and the modern techniques
to study it, specifically students and young researchers in the field.

Each of the PowerPoint presentations from the course includes
-     A contents page
-          Short notes to clarify the slides where necessary (use View/Notes page)
-          Some useful literature references
-          A list of the abbreviations and acronyms used, and their full names

This resource cannot be a complete training in itself.  It is intended to stimulate interest, highlight principles,
and lead the reader to original literature references.  Readers with any questions or looking for further
guidance are invited to contact the respective presenter.

Hoping you find this resource valuable and enjoyable!
