ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
About the Conference
TREAT - DM (CURE TRUST) and RISE (Longevity India) join forces to convene researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders exploring the science of ageing and metabolic disease. Expect cutting-edge talks, translational workshops, and collaborative networks. This is a unique collaborative meeting focused on metabolic health and the future of healthcare research.
Over four days, researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, innovators, and early-career scientists will come together to explore some of the biggest questions in aging, diabetes, and metabolic disease. A common platform for Translational Research, Basic Science, biomarkers, preventative care, clinical practice, therapeutics, digital health, and technologies shaping the future of metabolic health, that has never been attempted before.
With Orations, keynote talks, panel discussions, Plenary, Debates, translational workshops, poster & Oral presentations, and conversations that connect laboratory research with real-world healthcare challenges.
By bringing together experts across disciplines, the joint meeting aims to encourage collaborations that move science closer to meaningful impact for patients and communities. Patient & caregiver perspectives panels will also make our efforts more meaningful.
Conference also will be having early-career researcher awards for Scientists and Clinicians. Industry showcase will include therapeutics, diagnostics, digital health & more.
This conference shows path for Bridging basic science with clinical practice for metabolic and age-related diseases. In short longevity research meets metabolic medicine.
Be part of a collaborative space for ideas, evidence, and action.
Kindly note that on 6th and 7th of August, Topics discussed are part of RISE conclave and most of the topics will be research oriented. Topics of clinical relevance to a practicing physician starts from 7th afternoon onwards. August 8th and 9th are fully dedicated to clinicians and will include basic science translational research and clinical applications.
