    About    

RACMEM Conference Objectives

​

To provide a forum for scientists from both academia and industry (nutritional/pharmaceutical) to meet and discuss the latest advances, controversies, and methodological issues related to the in-vivo assessment of energy expenditure and substrate oxidation in humans and animals. This two day program will consist of:

• Keynote speakers known internationally for their work in metabolic research. 

• Plenary sessions that will provide technical overviews of several state-of-the-art approaches to measuring energy expenditure and fuel utilization in humans and animals.

• Breakout sessions that will address the design of calorimeter systems, the expression and analysis of metabolic data, advances in free-living assessments, and the implementation and monitoring of physical activity in humans and animals.

• Free-communication sessions which will provide a venue for both oral and poster presentations by conference attendees.

• Finally, extensive attention will be given to exhibitors interested in showing and presenting products that can be used for human and animal metabolic research.

​

Specific Learning Objectives

​​

• To review the latest approaches in measuring energy expenditure and fuel utilization in-vivo and establish basic standards for preclinical and clinical research.

• To debate the current controversies in the expression and interpretation of metabolic data.

• To assess the methodological and technological gaps in our pursuit to understand in-vivo fuel metabolism in order to direct research and development efforts.
