Metabolism is the cornerstone of life, governing energy homeostasis, nutrient utilization, redox balance, and cellular signaling. Recent research has revealed that metabolic dysregulation is a fundamental driver of major diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, neurodegeneration, immune dysfunction, and age-related conditions. Advancements in metabolomics, spatial omics, and systems biology have revolutionized our understanding of metabolic networks, offering unprecedented opportunities for early diagnosis and precision therapeutics.

Hosted by the National Health Research Institutes (NHRI), the 2026 International Medical Metabolism Conference brings together world-leading experts to explore the latest breakthroughs in the field. The scientific program features four core themes: Cancer Metabolism, Mitochondrial Function in Disease, Immunometabolism, and Metabolism in Nutrition and Aging. Through interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration, we seek to bridge the gap between clinical medicine, academia, and industry, accelerating the translation of fundamental research into clinical applications to advance global metabolic health.
