Recent advances in diabetic neuropathy using rodent models
Join us for a free online webinar organised by NEUROdiab, the international Diabetic Neuropathy Study Group. Chaired by Doctor Stephanie Eid, the session will be held on Wednesday 11 June 2025, 6:00 PM – 7:15 PM (BST UK), 1:00 PM – 2:15 PM in Eastern Time (ET).
Diabetic neuropathy is a common yet often underdiagnosed and undertreated complication of diabetes, affecting millions worldwide. This expert-led session, hosted by the NEUROdiab Youth Committee, will explore the latest research using rodent models to better understand and tackle this condition.
You will hear from world-leading researchers:
Speakers:
· Professor Doug Wright from the University of Kansas will discuss the STZ model, highlighting insights gained, translational studies, and the outcomes of failed clinical trials.
· Professor Eva Feldman from the University of Michigan will explore additional rodent models such as db/db and high-fat diet (HFD) mice, and discuss emerging models.
Learning objectives:
· Understand the STZ model and its role in translational research and clinical trials.
· Explore findings from db/db and HFD rodent models.
· Identify emerging models for advancing diabetic neuropathy research.
Join us for an essential session on the latest research advancements. Whether you work in the preclinical or clinical field, this is a must-attend event, especially for those interested in diabetic neuropathy. Don't miss out on this opportunity to stay informed!
