The meeting this year was held virtually on Zoom platform on July 7, 2021. Kichoon Lee of The Ohio State University was teh convener, assisted by Kola Ajuwon of Purdue University. We discussed how to increase teh membership. We also discussed the format of our future meetings. We had several presentations from multiple stations. The agenda is in the attached file. The presentations were lively, engaging and highly informative. Members agreed to reconvene next year, again virtually.
Accomplishments
- Short-term Outcomes: Increased knowledge of adipose tissue development and role in the regulation of animal growth, animal and human health.
- Outputs: Members published several excellent quality publications in the reporting year.
- Activities: Members had an annual meeting where latest research in the area were discussed. Members also attended multiple scientific meetings in the past year.
- Milestones: Members made significant progress in ther research areas and we continue to meet annually.
Impacts
- Activities of the NCCC210 have contributed significantly to knowledge of adipose biology in farm animals that have helped to increase efficiency of animal growth, bringing increased profitability to animal producers. Activities conducted by members of NNNNc210 have helped to train multiple scholars that are conducting impactful research. Our efforts have also contributed to better understanding of obesity etiology.
