Symposium I

Title

Computational Chemistry and its Applications

Brief

 Computational chemistry uses computers to solve chemical problems. It applies theoretical methods implemented in software for computations. At the outset of the 21st century, computational chemistry is leading to a wide range of possibilities usually interdisciplinary. This symposium aims to gather researchers applying computational methods in chemistry and allied subjects. The topics may be related but not limited to structural, spectroscopic, kinetic and thermodynamic aspects.

Title

 Unravelling the Mysteries of Diabetes: Challenges, Complications and Future Directions

Brief

 Diabetes is a global epidemic affecting over 400 million people worldwide. This workshop is intended to increase public knowledge of diabetes from prevention to treatment. The talks in the first session will focus on the risks factors of diabetes, from genetic predisposition to lifestyle, and will illustrate the clinical care recommended for impaired blood glucose control and two main complications of diabetes: retinopathy and foot ulcers. In the second session we will give an overview of the current diabetes research, from its state of art to future perspectives, exploring the latest advances in drug development, surgical treatment of diabetes and clinical trials. The final part of the workshop will be an interactive platform for all stakeholders.
