Metabolism has captured the interest of researchers across many different biological disciplines. In some fields, interest in longstanding metabolic questions has been renewed. In other areas, new metabolic connections are being made for the first time. No matter the topic, however, metabolism studies evoke pathway charts and methodological approaches that may not be common knowledge in all disciplines, and this could hinder dialogue between investigators. Moreover, many of the same metabolic patterns are observed consistently in different disease settings, animal models and cell types. 

The purpose of our symposium at , the annual meeting of the 91影库 and Molecular Biology, which will be held in March in Seattle, is to bring together researchers from disparate areas of biology who speak the common language of metabolism. We want to facilitate interactions between investigators who may be thinking about the same metabolic themes, but who are not typically at the same meetings or conferences. The presentations will not be organized by discipline but rather by metabolism topic, with the aim of stimulating new discussions and collaborative opportunities.

Our symposium will feature research examining metabolism at multiple levels — ranging from whole body to cells and organelles. We will hear how the same metabolic programs are implicated not only in diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration but also in fundamental biochemical processes including immune response and vision.

Keywords: Metabolism, metabolomics, lipids, physiology, interorgan communication, mitochondria, lysosomes, isotope tracing.

Who should attend: Anyone interested in metabolism at any level in any context.

Theme song: “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction, because metabolism lights up all of our worlds — and in honor of the infamous “What Makes Glycolysis” parody (look it up!).
