Le Service Science et Technology de l’ambassade de France au Royaume-Uni est heureux d’annoncer le prochain séminaire scientifique public, présenté en anglais.
Les nouveaux traitements de l’obésité
par Prof. Steve Bloom, Imperial College of London, et Prof. Philippe Froguel, Institut Pasteur, Lille, France.
Obesity has become such a major public health problem in the industrialized world that the World Health
Organisation currently talks about ’obesity epidemics’. It is well acknowledged that this disease results
from interactions between environmental and genetic factors. While current research unravels the secrets
of the regulation of appetite as well as the neutral pathways of body weight regulation, the identification
of a possible ’gene of obesity’ may prove helpful for the development of new therapies. Presenting two
complementary approaches, the speakers will discuss their views on tomorrow’s treatment of obesity.
Les deux présentations seront suivies d’un vin d’honneur.
