Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Future Leaders in Medical Science,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to ICDDTM’25, a conference designed to inspire collaboration, spark innovation, and accelerate the translation of research into meaningful healthcare solutions.
Throughout my career, I have seen how breakthroughs in medicine are not achieved in isolation—they arise from collective efforts, interdisciplinary partnerships, and the passion of scientists, clinicians, and industry leaders working together. The challenges we face today—whether in cancer, infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, or neurodegeneration—demand a united approach that bridges research, clinical practice, and industry. ICDDTM’25 is more than just a scientific gathering; it is a global forum where ideas converge, breakthroughs emerge, and lasting collaborations take shape.
Our theme, “Fostering Global Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Sustainable Innovation in Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine,” reflects this mission. This year, we are particularly excited to highlight the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, data analytics, and novel therapeutic strategies. Through plenary and invited lectures, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops, participants will gain insights into the cutting-edge advancements shaping the future of medicine.
A special emphasis of this conference is nurturing the next generation of scientists. We warmly welcome postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate students to engage in this dynamic exchange of ideas. With dedicated networking opportunities, travel awards, and best presentation recognitions, ICDDTM’25 aims to empower young researchers and provide them with a platform to showcase their work, connect with experts, and forge new collaborations.
I invite you to join us from 24–27 November 2025 at Universiti Putra Malaysia’s Hospital Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah (HSAAS). Whether you are an experienced researcher, a clinician at the forefront of patient care, an industry leader, a postdoc, or a postgraduate student eager to make your mark in the field, your contributions are invaluable in shaping the future of drug discovery and translational medicine.
Let’s come together to push the boundaries of science, challenge conventional wisdom, and create a lasting impact on global health. I look forward to welcoming you to an enriching and inspiring ICDDTM’25!
