ForwardSpring Congress 2024: The Metabolic Crisis - From Surviving to Thriving in the 21st Century
May 4, 2024 to May 5, 2024
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has starkly illuminated the potential havoc that can be wrought by a single viral pathogen when exploiting comorbidities stemming from metabolic dysfunction.
