Aims
The primary aim of the NYC Regional Obesity Forum is to provide a forum that promotes professional interaction and facilitates collaboration across institutions in the New York City Metropolitan Area.
The NYC Regional Obesity Forum also aims to foster increased awareness of research and to promote multi-site collaborative projects across the many regional institutions. An emphasis is placed on enabling junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, fellows and doctoral students to interact with each other as well as with senior faculty and obesity professionals.
The forum will, create opportunities for researchers to present their work and enhance career opportunities for junior investigators.

The NYC Regional Obesity Forum will cover a broad spectrum of obesity-related topics, including behavior, clinical, complications, dietary aspects, eating disorders, economics, education, epidemiology, genetics, gestational influences, molecular biology, metabolism, neurobiology, nutrition, pathophysiology, pediatric, pharmacology, physical activity, physiology, policy, psychology, surgery, syndromes and treatment, and others.
We encourage scientists, clinicians, nutritionists and other professionals working on obesity and related traits in academic or other settings to join the NYC Regional Obesity Forum.
