The Center for Disease Control and Prevention describes chronic disease as any medical condition that lasts for 1 year or more. These include heart disease, diabetes, asthma, Alzheimer’s, and cancer- just to name a few.
Emily started her career practicing real estate law before transitioning into research into the science behind chronic diseases and how we can prevent them.
Emily will be in conversation with Dr. Jay Skyler, Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics & Psychology, Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, & Metabolism, Deputy Director for Clinical Research & Academic Programs at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
