DOHaD Summer Course 2023: First Principles and Future Directions
Thanks for attending!
The OHSU Center for Developmental Health hosts the DOHaD Summer Course every August.
This course is designed for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and early-stage faculty who are interested in the long-term consequences of developmental programming.
This year the theme was DOHaD: First Principles and Future Directions. Presentations from nationally recognized experts will include social determinants of DOHaD; epidemiological models and gaps in knowledge; DOHaD mechanisms impacting pathophysiology; and the promise of prevention and intervention. Registrants will have the opportunity to present their own DOHaD research during the course.
2023 Date: August 7, 8 and 9
Location: OHSU, Portland, Oregon
2023 topics:
Day 1: Social Determinants of DOHaD: Epidemiological Models and Gaps in Knowledge
Day 2: Breadth of DOHaD Mechanisms Impacting Pathophysiology
Day 3: Promise of DOHaD Prevention and Intervention
2023 Information
Susan Ozanne, Ph.D., B.S.c.; Professor of Developmental Endocrinology, University of Cambridge
Dr. Ozanne’s research focuses on understanding the mechanistic basis of the relationships between suboptimal early life nutrition and the increased risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity and premature death. A number of studies suggest these relationships exist, but the molecular mechanisms behind these relationships have not been understood. Not only is the goal of her lab’s research to define these mechanisms, but to also take this understanding to develop rational intervention strategies.
