The American Medical Association has classified obesity as a disease this year calling for research that would lead to development of new and effective method for treatment of obesity and obesity-associated diseases. The objective of this talk is to share our experience and progress toward development of gene transfer-based approach for prevention of diet-induced obesity and obesity-associated insulin resistance. </span></font></div>
