This interdisciplinary event, organised by the Cambridge Metabolic Network in collaboration with the Department of Archaeology, aims to draw together perspectives on obesity and metabolism from deep history to the present day. Through a series of keynote talks, discussions and flash talks, it will provide a forum for exchange of ideas across disciplines to stimulate new perspectives on how the past can inform the present, and the present can inform the past. Ultimately, the aim is to improve our understanding of the causes, prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders.
