Program

The main themes of this meeting are: 1) The intestinal microbiota and its influence on lipid absorption and whole animal lipid physiology; 2) Intestinal regulation of bile acid metabolism and their impact on physiology; 3) The cell biology and physiology of specific key cell types of the intestine (enterocyte, enteroendocrine, and stem cells).

Conference sessions will present the latest research findings and foster engaging discussion on:
  • Enterocytes: Cell biology and lipid trafficking
  • Enteroendocrine cell biology, signaling, and physiology
  • Intestinal stem cell biology
  • Intestinal regulation of bile acid metabolism and their impact on physiology
  • Intestinal microbiota and its influence on lipid absorption and physiology
  • Emerging technologies for studying intestinal biology and lipid metabolism
  • Intestinal lipid metabolism and the gut-brain axis
  • Intestine and metabolic disease

The conference covers eight sessions with two selected abstract presentations, and a “Meet the Expert” panel discussing elements of being a successful scientist.
