General
In this meeting we aim to bring together AGEM researchers interested in "Organ-to-organ communication" and identify relevant themes. The overarching goal is to encourage collaboration and cohesion within our research institute.
Within the fields of AGEM, the theme “organ-to-organ communication” refers to the coordinated exchange of biochemical, neural, immune, endocrine, and metabolic signals between organs that collectively regulate digestion, nutrient handling, energy balance, and systemic homeostasis. Instead of viewing organs such as the gut, liver, pancreas, thyroid gland, gonads, adipose tissue, muscle, and brain as isolated units, this framework considers them an integrated network whose signaling interactions determine health and disease.
For a more detailed explanation of the theme, please see our document.
The theme is broad, enabling you to approach it from various angles if you intend to present a short pitch at the event. Or, if you are just interested in this theme and would like to see what research is being done within the theme, come along too!
Some AGEM researchers will present a short pitch, explaining how their research relates to the theme. Following these pitches there is room for discussion and collaboration.
