2011 International Conference on Diabetes and Metabolism

Invitation

Welcome to the 2011 International Conference on Diabetes and Metabolism.

It is our pleasure to invite the members and guests to the 2011 International Conference

on Diabetes and Metabolism which will be held in Grand Hilton Seoul Hotel, Seoul, Korea,

from 10th to 12th November 2011.

Korean Diabetes Association (KDA) has arranged these important scientific symposia and

the extensive educational programs for physicians, researchers and educators. There will

be world-renowned speakers in sixteen symposium sessions including Insulin secretion &

biology, Insulin action & obesity, Clinical diabetes & therapeutics, Epidemiology &

genetics, Acute & chronic complication and Behavioral medicine & education. The

pertinent issues and technological advances in the broad areas of diabetes mellitus and

its updated treatment will be discussed throughout the conference.

This international conference is of significant importance for giving an opportunity for all

participants to update and exchange knowledge from basic to clinical and to develop a

common vision for the future of diabetes treatment through extensive discussions.

Once again, we would like to express our warmest welcome to you for joining the first

ICDM 2011. The organizing committee has been working to make ICDM 2011 a truly

memorable experience for all participants. We hope you are able to experience and enjoy

unique and wonderful cultural attraction during your stay in Seoul. We look forward to

meeting you at the ICDM 2011 in Seoul, Korea.

Sincerely yours,

Andrew J. M. Boulton (Universities of Manchester, UK)Prof. Andrew James Michael Boulton is currently a professor at University of Manchester and University ofMiami. His academic interest has been in the areas of complications of diabetes, particularly the diabeticfoot disease and diabetic nephropathy. He has written over 400 articles and participated as a co-author of 8relevant books. Professor Boulton was the editor of the "Diabetic Medicine" from 1991 to 1995. After servingas a president of the "Diabetic Foot Study Group" of EASD and the "Foot Wound Interest Group" of ADA, he isnow a vice-president of EASD. At this symposium, Professor Boulton will give a presentation on recentresearch trends, changes in treatment and prospects on diabetic foot disease with a title of “An update onthe diabetic foot for 2011.”

Philipp E. Scherer (UT Southwestern Medical Center, USA)Prof. Philipp Scherer is a director of Touchstone Diabetes Center, UT Southwestern Medical center. As aworldwide leading scientist, Dr. Scherer has been working on the integrated physiology of the adipocyteand the impact on whole body energy homeostasis, inflammation and cancer. He is one of pioneers toidentify adipocyte-derived factors (adipokines) and adipocyte physiology. Especially, he has cloned“adiponectin” and has elucidated the downstream signaling of adiponectin in the regulation of carbohydrateand lipid metabolism. Recently, his research team has demonstrated that adiponectin also plays a role incancer cell growth and survival. In this presentation, he will discuss the impact of adipokines on liverphysiology.
