The symposium will cover topics such as epidemiology of complex diseases with special stress on diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, genetic variation in Indian subcontinent, comparison of disease conditions between Indians and Europeans, effect of rural-urban migration on disease prevalence, interaction between genes and the environment, among others, according to a release.

Pioneers working in the areas of epidemiology, genetics and epigenetics of complex diseases from India, Europe and the US will participate in the scientific sessions.
