Upcoming Energy Balance Events

The Digital Physical Activity and Diet (dPAD) Collaborative, is a joint MD Anderson/UTHealth Houston core that aims to increase investigator expertise and improve the innovation and scientific rigor of obesity-related digital health research. On September 28-29, dPAD will hold a symposium to enable faculty and trainees to share their research, hear from experts in the field, and accelerate collaboration and networking for innovative research opportunities. This symposium will serve to promote discussions and presentations based on successful studies, as well as to identify existing resources and grant application development with field experts.

Join us for the 16th AACR Conference on The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorites and the Medically Underserved. This conference advances the understanding of, and ultimately helps to eliminate, the disparities that represent a major public health problem. Reflecting this transdisciplinary field, professionals from academia, industry, government, and the community are brought together to promote the exchange of novel ideas, discuss the latest findings in the field, and stimulate the development of new research on cancer health disparities.

CPRIT’s Innovations in Cancer Prevention and Research Conference VI will highlight the exceptional progress across cancer research, prevention, and product development at medical and academic research centers, in communities, and at companies around Texas. The conference will feature informative sessions on CPRIT-funded initiatives on computational biology and modeling for drug discovery, the use of artificial intelligence in imaging, the expansion of drug development resources and biomanufacturing facilities in Texas, and immunology and vaccine development in cancer.

The 2023 Summit is co-hosted by the Centre for Evidence and Implementation, the National University of Singapore’s Centre for Behavioural and Implementation Science Interventions (BISI) and Monash University. The event will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from the 9th to the 11th of October. Summit participation can be in-person or virtual, with various ticket options available.

ObesityWeek® is home to the latest developments in evidence-based obesity science: cutting-edge basic and clinical research, state-of-the-art obesity treatment and prevention, and the latest efforts in advocacy and public policy. Overcoming obesity requires multi-disciplinary approaches. This is the conference that encompasses the full spectrum of obesity science: from basic science research, to translational research and clinical application, to public policy; from diet, exercise, lifestyle, and psychology to medical and surgical interventions; from pediatric to geriatric to underserved populations.

The 2023 ASCO Quality Care Symposium offers an interactive in-person and online experience so you can stay at the forefront of this ever-expanding field by examining the most important science and topics in quality care today. Attendees can expect a solution-oriented, equity-focused program that goes beyond identifying disparities and focuses on implementing interventions to improve cancer care across the spectrum of disease. Easy access to livestreamed sessions, live session polling, and on-demand viewing of research presentations and slides. Unique networking opportunities that unite experts and peers to generate meaningful discussions that will lead to better patient outcomes and more efficient cancer care delivery.

APHA’s 2023 Annual Meeting and Expo is the premier public health event of the year offering innovative and exciting opportunities to help you reach your personal and professional goals. Engage with public health experts, collaborate with other advocates and grow professionally.
