    Lecture: Obesity Management in 2023 – a burning platform from NNF Science Cluster on Vimeo.

    Obesity has reached catastrophic proportions globally, with over a billion people suffering from the condition, which not only affects their physical health but also their mental well-being and quality of life. Despite numerous public health initiatives and weight-loss programs, the problem only seems to be worsening, with a high rate of long-term failure.

    In this lecture, we will explore the latest research and advancements in obesity management and the role of technology, nutrition, and physical activity in promoting healthy weight. We will delve into the various strategies and approaches to weight management and examine the challenges and barriers that individuals face in their weight loss journey. Furthermore, we will examine the innovative solutions provided by the Lighthouse Life Science Healthy Weight project and their efforts to address these challenges and help individuals achieve their weight loss goals.

    With its unique position in the life science industry, we believe that Denmark has the potential to become a lighthouse for the rest of the world in the field of obesity management. Join us as we discuss the current status and future opportunities for managing obesity and the pivotal role that Denmark can play in promoting healthy weight.

    What is Science Cluster Lectures?

    The Science Cluster Lectures is a series of open lectures for all researchers and others interested in bioscience, biotechnology and health. Every 4 weeks, on Thursday evenings, you are invited for lectures on themes with a general interest for the Novo Nordisk Foundation Research Centers and bioscience researchers in general. Often there will be a cross-disciplinary focus.

    Will it be possible to attend physically and virtually?

    This will be a hybrid lecture with the possibility of attending both virtually and physically. Please note that we have a limited capacity for how many we allow to participate physically, and seats are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
