Most non-communicable disease facing the world today is diet-related. This includes obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and a host of other related metabolic disorders. Although lifestyle is a factor, it is clear there are powerful genetic and other 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.

At this new conference, global leaders in the field will provide updates on the use of GWAS and genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics. In addition to outstanding invited talks, stimulating short oral presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts. Posters and poster pitch talk sessions will provide further opportunities to present research findings.

This meeting aims to be highly interactive to improve inter-disciplinary knowledge-dissemination between scientists and clinicians working in basic and therapeutic research. Face-to-face networking opportunities are facilitated at Hinxton Hall Conference Centre with inclusive meals, and optional on-site accommodation.

Further details and to register, registration closes 9 May 2023 for in-person and 30 May 2023 for virtual attendance.
