Experts will engage in thought-provoking discussions and lectures on a wide range of topics, from biological models of diseases to the enormous amounts of available data that must be processed in them and analyze them in order to turn them into knowledge. All this, alongside discussions regarding the quality of life in the world and the increasing cost of medical services. Whether it is chronic diseases, cognitive impairments or disruptions in the cardiovascular and metabolic systems, in the conference we will look in depth at the mutual effects between different features and therapeutic interventions. whose aim is to address these challenges, both on the preventive and the therapeutic level,” Alon added.
