Changing the Course of Diabetes: From Molecules, to Man, to the Population
Event Information
Description
Recently, the Ministry of Health of the government of Singapore declared a war on the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Singapore, Diabetes. As populations across the globe age at rapid rates, prevention, cure and management of diabetes are an immediate priority.
