The 2nd MENA Congress for Metabolism in Health and Disease 2025 will be held at Mövenpick Grand Al Bustan, Dubai, UAE on the 17th and 18th of October 2025. 

The 1st MENA Congress for Metabolism in Health and Disease 2024, 15-16 November 2024, Dubai, UAE, was the first regional conference that is fully detected and centered around metabolism, as a hallmark of both health and disease. The first edition was very successful with 27 speakers, including 7 international experts, and more than 200 participants with more than 25% coming from other countries. Variable topics related to metabolism in health and diseases were discussed with more than 95% of attendees giving above-average evaluation for the presentations.  

The 2nd MENA Congress for Metabolism in Health and Disease 2025, Dubai, 17-18 October 2025 will continue to be the largest regional event centered on metabolism in diseases and wellness. The coming meeting will be larger with more than 40 speakers discussing more variable topics related to metabolism. More than 300 participants are expected to attend.  
 

Metabolism is a fundamental aspect of human biology, influencing and being influenced by a myriad of factors. It serves as the cornerstone for understanding health and disease. Understanding the impact of metabolic processes on the natural course of human physiology and the effect of metabolic alterations on various health outcomes is essential in providing the proper management and care for various diseases including diabetes and other endocrine disorders, cardiovascular diseases, hepatic and renal disorders, and neurological diseases. Obesity and the relationship between diet and nutrition highlight the diverse and complex interlink between different metabolic pathways. The role of the microbiome in health and disease and the effects of lifestyle factors such as exercise, sleep, and stress further underscore the importance of a holistic approach to metabolic health. Inborn errors of metabolism reveal the genetic and cellular underpinnings of metabolism, while aging and rejuvenation are emerging as key pillars for understanding the temporal dynamics of metabolic processes. The environmental impact on metabolism and the consequences of substance use and abuse also extend our awareness to the multitude of risk factors that can impact human health. 
 

This conference will continue to serve as a unique platform for obtaining the most updated knowledge, exchanging experience, establishing networks and collaborations, and inspiring innovative research in the fields of metabolism and metabolic diseases ultimately contributing to better health outcomes. We look forward to seeing you among us at the 2nd MENA Congress for Metabolism in Health and Disease, Dubai, 17-18 October 2025.
