General Information
The prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and a whole host of other related metabolic disorders is related to lifestyle. However, it is clear there are powerful genetic and biological influences informing susceptibility to these conditions.
Great strides have been made in illuminating the complex pathophysiology of metabolic diseases, in large part due to the development and application of a whole repertoire of so-called ‘omics’ technologies. These include GWAS and genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics.
This meeting will gather international leaders in the field to update on the use of these ‘multi-omics’ approaches. It further aims to improve inter-disciplinary knowledge-dissemination between scientists and clinicians working in basic and therapeutic research.
The programme will include short oral presentations selected from abstracts, lightning talks, posters, discussion sessions and networking opportunities for a highly interactive meeting.
This conference will be a hybrid meeting – with onsite or virtual attendance.
Deadline for submissions: 28 March 2023
