The mechanisms of diseases and global approaches

New approaches for elucidating mechanisms of diseases including environmental diseases, cancer, metabolic diseases, infectious diseases are challenging. After the presentation on elucidating the mechanism of cancer and infectious diseases, lectures by Dr. Tae-Young Kim (Korea) on metabolic deuterium oxide labeling in environmental diseases, Dr. Rosalia Rodriguez-Rodriguez (Spain) on targeting the hypothalamus with nanomedicines to treat metabolic diseases, Dr. Chang-Beom Park (Korea) on methodological approach for evaluation of the environmental diseases were presented. The deeper understanding of the global research approaches on diseases will be expected based on the fruitful discussion at the international symposium.
