About the Workshop

Obesity affects over 17% of adults in Europe and it is one of the most important predisposing factors for type 2 diabetes and additional associated conditions referred collectively as the metabolic syndrome, which includes elevated blood pressure, high lipid levels, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and cardiovascular disease.

The overall goal of this EMBO Workshop is to provide the most important and up-to-date research in the field of metabolism. The workshop will focus on understanding the recent progress in adipocyte biology (cell fate and browning), liver metabolism including steatosis and the role of the central nervous system in the control of the energy homeostasis. Special emphasis will be done to highlight the importance of the organ crosstalk and how signaling pathways in one tissue could affect the metabolism in other tissue. The goals of this EMBO Workshop are to provide important new insights into the primary pathogenesis of these disorders, and especially focus on those that might lead to new therapies.

About the Area

Cadiz

The province of Cadiz is the southernmost of the Iberian Peninsula. Cadiz has an ancient history. The Tarshish and Phoenicians visited these lands more than three thousand years ago. It was here that they built the old Gadir (Cadiz) around 1,100 B.C., making it the oldest capital in the West. The Romans and the Visigoths also left their marks here. After 711, it was ruled by the Muslims until Alfonso X. The Wise reconquered it in the middle of the 13th century and it became part of the Kingdom of Castilla.
The province of Cadiz is an exceptional and unique area, whose qualities will delight those people seeking tourism that reflects true cultural, festive and ecological values, together with the authentic and essentially Andalusian customs and monuments.

The province has over 30 castles and fortresses, many of which are in a good state of repair. In the field of religious art, the province also boasts an extraordinary collection of monuments. Good examples of this are the Cartuja in Jerez or the cathedrals of Cadiz and Jerez. As far as paintings are concerned, examples of works by El Greco, Murillo, Zurbarán and Goya can be found in many of the province's churches and museums.

The province boosts a wide variety of natural spaces of great diversity and exceptional ecological value. These natural surroundings have been respected and preserved and include areas of marshland, threatened types of fauna and coastal sectors that are still untouched. Without doubt one of the province's principal natural resources is its wide range of beaches, with white fine sand and transparent water.

A wide variety of beaches stretch along the province's 260 km of coastline. Unspoilt, isolated beaches, others located in towns with many facilities, small coves or large expanses of open sand stretching along several kilometres; family beaches or less crowded ones; areas of calm sea or others swept by high winds, that are ideal for windsurfing.

Cadiz's cuisine is influenced more than anything by the province's wines and by the wide selection of locally caught fresh fish: gilt-head bream, sea bream, sea bass etc, as well as the shell fish: prawns, Norway lobsters, crab claws, sea snails .... and the famous king prawns from Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

Then there are the traditional cheeses, cold cuts and meats from the mountain villages. Anyone who comes to the province should visit the impressive wineries in Jerez, El Puerto de Santa María, Sanlúcar, or Chiclana, where these exquisite wines, such as fino, manzanilla, moscatel, as well as a Jerez or sherry, which has become Spain's ambassador worldwide. You should contact each winery's public relations department prior to planning a visit.
