Metabolism is a fundamental biological process that underpins human health and disease. To foster global scientific exchange and also to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Cell Metabolism, the Chinese Society for Metabolic Biology (CSMB) and Cell Press are co-organizing the C2-MERIT - CSMB & Cell Press Collaborative Conference on Metabolic Research, Innovation and Translation. This landmark scientific meeting will feature a broad spectrum of metabolic research including immunometabolism, lipid metabolism, diet and exercise, aging, microbiome, cell death and mitochondria and metabolic interplay between tissues. It will bring leading researchers from around the world together to share cutting-edge insights, exchange ideas, and strengthen global collaborations thereby promoting novel technologies and translational medicine in metabolism.
