Wallace and Prof. Roger Davis who are celebrated experts about diabetes with ‘A mitochondrial etiology of metabolic and degenerative diseases’ and ‘Metabolic stress signaling by the JNK pathway’. The famous researchers from USA, Japan and Korea will make their presentation. Each symposium is composed of Clinical diabetes / therapeutics, Diabetic complications , Obesity, Insulin resistance, Education and integrated care, Islet biology, Epidemiology/genetics so that participants are able to discuss their own scientific research field in depth.

This year, AASD (Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes) program will proceed in conjunction with ICDM2013. We believe our conference will be a platform of brilliance.

Finally, we would like to appreciate your deep interest and affection about ICDM. We hope all participants will give a chance to experience the modern Korean Culture. Thank you.
