The Symposium on Clinical Metabolic Physiology 2023 is the fourth time that we have gathered researchers to exchange knowledge, share ideas and network between the participating laboratories.

The programme is composed of short “lab–meeting”-presentations that highlight methodological challenges within clinical metabolic physiology, i.e. physiology/pathophysiology of obesity, type 1 and 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders.

The lectures will focus on new or older investigative models, technology or methodology with issues that are relevant to be deliberated. During the day, we will also get a guided tour of the research/lab facilities at the Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen.

We hope that all participants will take an active part in discussing challenges and solutions and that the meeting will inspire new projects and facilitate new collaborations between national and international research groups both in academia and in the life science industry in the future.

If you have questions to the event or the registration procedure, please contact the DDEA at ouh.ddea@rsyd.dk

The symposium is intended all researchers (translational and clinical) with an interest in clinical metabolic physiology, which focuses on physiology/pathophysiology of obesity, type 1 and 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders, irrespective of their career status (i.e. master project students, PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, research assistants, professors, etc.), scientific discipline or affiliation (academia, clinic, industry etc.).

You are not guaranteed a seat at the symposium if you do not meet the target group requirements. Priority is given to participants employed at the participating institutions/laboratories, Danish research and health institutions or in the life science industry, but a number of seats are reserved for participants employed at research and health institutions or in the life science industry abroad. If the event is overbooked, the DDEA reserves its right to select participants based on the defined requirements and country of employment.

Dinner registration

A networking dinner will be held for all participants, speakers and organisers after the meeting. Please state if you will attend the dinner when you register.

No-show fee

Please note that it is free of charge to participate in the symposium, however, should you miss the dinner, after signing up for it, the DDEA will charge a no-show fee of 250 DKK.
