Seminar Series

The Graduate Nutrition Program currently sponsors a weekly seminar series through nine months of the year.  This program covers all aspects of nutrition, including basic, clinical, epidemiology, and education.  In addition, there are regular research and clinical seminars in Endocrinology, Pharmacology, Veterinary Biology, Medicine, General Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience.

A new seminar series, titled “Health Behaviors: Molecules to Policy,” is being sponsored by the Obesity Prevention Center, the Cancer Center and Minnesota Obesity Center.  The goal of the series is to discuss research issues that cross-cut energy balance related health behaviors, primarily smoking, eating, alcohol and physical activity.  This year, Sanofi-Synthelabo Inc. has provided an unrestricted educational grant through NAASO for a NIH ONRC Educational Seminar Series, a bimonthly educational seminar series on a variety of topics ranging from basic science to clinical obesity.

The MN Obesity Center has provided speakers across the University and co-sponsored a variety of programs.  The Center has placed particular attention on making these obesity talks attractive and relevant to the general educated public and has advertised the programs throughout the Twin Cities and Rochester campus systems.  Each of the members of the executive faculty of the Minnesota Obesity Center has presented at these seminars.  The External Scientific Advisory group has participated in our obesity seminar series.

The Minnesota Obesity Center serves the academic community by keeping them informed of obesity-related events.  This is achieved by dispersing announcements throughout the Center’s growing number of participating institutions.  For this purpose, the Center maintains an extensive mailing list of academic and lay individuals, and pertinent departments. Additionally, activities are posted electronically across departmental faculty listserves, as well as the Center’s own listserve and website.
