INSPIRED Symposium: Insights in Pediatric CAR T-cell Immunotherapy: Recent Advances and Future Directions
With the primary goal to bring together the expanding pediatric and young adult CAR T-cell community, in addressing major clinical advances achieved over the last decade and outstanding gaps warranting further focus, we aim to reflect on the 10+ year experience of CAR T-cell delivery to pediatric and young adults with B-cell malignancies. Based on experience gained over this time, this conference will focus on highlighting current best practices, opportunities to address unmet needs, and areas where future research is needed or ongoing. Our primary goal for this conference is to allow for cross-fertilization and collaborat...

Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Methods for Evaluating Natural Experiments in Obesity (Day 2)
Obesity is a major contributor to serious health conditions in children and adults. The prevalence of obesity in the United States and globally has grown rapidly in the last three decades; thus, there is a pressing need to help people achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Obesity is commonly defined as having a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30. In 2014, more than one-third (37.7%) of U.S. adults (Flegal, 2016 ) and 17% of U.S. children and young adults under the age of 20 (Ogden, 2016 ) met this definition, accounting for about 55% of the total U.S. population. There are also persistent disparities among ...
