Abstract

The WCIRDC presents the cutting edge of metabolic research and helps clinicians translate both preclinical and clinical data into their approach to day-to-day clinical practice. The Congress is the premier global meeting, dedicated to diabetes, obesity, metabolism, and energy balance, linking research to clinical practice, and highlighting our theme --- Exploring New Frontiers in Metabolism ---Tomorrowa€™s Clinical Science Today. Since its inception, the Congress has become a home to globally recognized clinical and basic scientists and has served as a main stage for them to present their research and share their knowledge in the field of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The distinguished global faculty, combined with the Congressa€™ unique bench-to-bedside approach, has culminated in a state-of-the-art program. These expert and creative faculty help promote a new understanding for metabolic diseases.
