The Colorado NORC offers several events throughout the year to facilitate collaborative research and networking. See below for upcoming and past events.
Registration is open for the 2024 Calorimetry Workshop!
The workshop will review the technical aspects of indirect calorimetry. There will be sessions on metabolic carts, room calorimetry, and animal calorimetry systems. Topics will include a review and comparison of different gas analyzers, derivation and application of equations for measuring energy expenditure and substrate oxidation, approaches to validation and calibration, design consideration for room calorimeters, and an overview of signal processing approaches. The workshop is open to all – we welcome students, trainees, and experienced investigators. Registration is free and includes a continental breakfast for both days as well as a lunch and reception on the 15th.
Please contact olivia.schmidt@cuasnchutz.edu for any registration questions.

Sponsored by the Colorado NORC: Join Ed Melanson, PhD for this three-part workshop. This workshop will cover the principles of using stable isotope methodology to measure free-living energy expenditure in humans. The workshop will cover theory, application, and best practice approaches to sample collection and analysis.
Who: All members of our Colorado NORC Research Base, including anyone who would like a refresher, if you have attended in the past.
When: 10:30-11:30am (MST) on Thursdays: March 25th, April 8th and April 22nd, 2021
