ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS
To foster interactions and promote continuing education of its scientists, CeDER has
implemented several enrichment programs:
Journal Club meetings: CeDER scientists meet weekly to discuss newly published papers with high impact in
the field of metabolism and endocrine research pertaining to ongoing research in the
center.
Data Club meetings: CeDER scientists and trainees meet weekly to discuss newly generated data and obtain
feedback on ongoing projects.
Seminar Series: Co-sponsored by the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease graduate program (CVMD)
and several departments in the College of Medicine and Life Sciences, this biweekly
seminar series invite extramural experts in the field to share their newest findings
with CeDER members and establish successful collaborations.
Faculty Workshops: CeDER’s principal investigators meet monthly to promote interdisciplinary interactions
and review planned grant applications and overall research strategies.
Diabetes Annual Meetings: CeDER members participate in these annual meetings, organized by the Endocrine Division
at the institutional Internal Medicine Department.
MEND Research Conferences: As members of the regional diabetes center, CeDER scientists participate in the Metabolism,
Endocrine and Diabetes (MEND) Research conferences held weekly by the diabetes center
at the nearby University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
