PittPharmacy Professor Wen Xie, MD, PhD chaired the session Metabolism and Physiology at the 6th Great Lakes Nuclear Receptor Conference (GLNRC) held in Madison, Wisconsin, October 17-18, 2014.
The Great Lakes Nuclear Receptor Conference is a biennial meeting organized by leading researchers in the area of nuclear receptors and is held every other year at different institutions in the great lakes area.
The initial conference was held in 2003 at the University of Toledo, Ohio. Subsequent conferences have been hosted by the University of Wisconsin, Madison (2005), the University of Pittsburgh (2007), the University of Michigan (2010), and jointly hosted by Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2012. The overall goal of this conference is to spur further research and collaboration in the area of nuclear receptors and to provide unique opportunities for interactions and career development for students and trainees.
Xie is a professor of pharmaceutical sciences, the Joseph Koslow Endowed Chair in Pharmaceutical Science, and director of the Center for Pharmacogenetics at the School of Pharmacy.
