The Antagonistic Pleiotropy of IGF-1 and its Interactions with Insulin

The "IGF and Insulin System in Physiology and Disease Conference" convenes a diverse group of international researchers committed to advancing our understanding of the IGF axis's role in health and disease. Our program showcases a blend of emerging talents and renowned experts in the IGF field, featuring discussion leaders and presenters from institutions and organizations worldwide. This conference is designed to cultivate an interactive atmosphere conducive to deep discussions, the exchange of novel ideas, and the initiation of groundbreaking research collaborations. Participants will have the exceptional opportunity to partake in stimulating sessions, gaining access to groundbreaking, yet-to-be-published research that is at the forefront of the IGF and insulin fields. Our poster sessions are specially designed for early-career scientists, offering them a platform to present their research and engage in meaningful dialogue with established field leaders. These interactions are not just about sharing research; they're about mentorship, guidance, and career development. The conference is intentionally structured to encourage informal networking. These moments, beyond the formal sessions, are invaluable for fostering professional relationships and friendships, contributing to a sense of community and collaboration. This is more than a conference; it's a steppingstone to the future of the IGF and insulin research community.

Our North Star metric for the conference this year is forwarding researchers from underprivileged backgrounds and junior researchers. We encourage participants from underrepresented groups in the U.S. and graduate students and postdocs from Africa, India, Central America, South America, Russia, Ukraine, and China to submit abstracts and share their research with the community.
