Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism focuses across the breadth of basic, clinical and scientific aspects of endocrinology, the clinical application of molecular endocrinology, diabetes care and clinical management.

Experts need to address on recent advances and technologies, existing or innovative diabetes therapies, neuroendocrinology, diabetic retinopathy, pediatric endocrinology, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic ischaemic heart disease, diabetes presentation in specialty practice like dentistry, dermatology, and orthopedics.

Non-pharmacological interventions such as exercise, dietary, and lifestyle as well as preclinical, pharmacokinetic studies, meta-analyses, drug safety and tolerability are also major sectors needs to concentrate.
