Friday, July 9th marks the date of the Cardiometabolic Science Bootcamp, an all-day introduction to research sponsored by a T32 postdoctoral training grant entitled “Postdoctoral Training in Cardiometabolic Science, Willa Hsueh MD and Sakima Smith MD/PhD co-PIs.” The series of introductory and educational lectures for Fellows and trainees is structured to define the all too common patient with diabetes and heart disease, the essence of the cardiometabolic syndrome, offer guidance from senior faculty who will highlight state-of-the-art techniques in research, and stimulate interest in postdoctoral fellowships.
The program will offer networking opportunities and the chance for trainees and fellows to hear from cardiovascular and metabolic investigators in an environment that is meant to cultivate the next generation of leaders who will be at the forefront of future advances in cardiometabolic science.
The series will include informative lectures from the following faculty:
- Willa Hsueh, MD, Professor of Medicine, Director Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism, Department of Internal Medicine, Wexner Medical Center, The Ohio State University: What is Cardiometabolic Science?
- Martha Belury, PhD, Carol S. Kennedy Professor of Human Nutrition, Program Chair, Human Nutrition, Department of Human Sciences: Nutrition’s Impact on Cardiovascular Disease and Metabolism
- Sakima A. Smith, MD, MPH, FAHA, Associate Professor of Medicine, Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplantation, Vice Chair for Diversity & Inclusion, Department of Internal Medicine, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Heart & Vascular Center, Associate Program Director, Cardiovascular Fellowship Training Program: The Heart in Cardiometabolic Disease
- Vicki Wysocki, PhD, Ohio Eminent Scholar of Macromolecular Structure and Function, Director, Campus Chemical Instrument Center, Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry: Proteomics and Metabolomics
- Eugene Oltz, PhD, Chair, Department of Microbial Infection and Immunity, Samuel Saslaw Professor of Infectious Diseases: Transcriptomics and Epigenetics
- Jill A. Rafael-Fortney, PhD, Professor, Department of Physiology & Cell Biology, Director, Center for Muscle Health & Neuromuscular Disorders, Director, Cardiac Predoctoral T32 Training Program: Diversity in Research
