About the event

Never before in human history has a component of the human body been so vilified as body fat. Modern humans see it as something that needs to be, at best, despised if not reduced or even better completely wiped out. But the biological reality is so different. 

In her Inaugural Professorial Lecture, Professor Louise Thomas will tell us about her personal 30-year journey through technological innovation, creative collaborations, inspired interventional and clinical trials, unexpected discoveries, and the endless pandering to anyone that would volunteer, to arrive at new insights into the true nature of the "beauty of body fat".
