From Science to Society: The CKM Conference 2026

Science, policy and people, all in one place. Across 26 and 27 September, our CKM Conference traced the journey of cardio-kidney-metabolic health. The programme moved from genes and sugar spikes to food labels and diabetes remission, and from childhood habits and sleep to affordable care and national policy.

 Keynotes by Dr. Cherian Varghese and Dr. J. S. Thakur set the direction. An evening Inauguration Ceremony and a warm Award Presentation celebrated the people leading this change. 

The conference closed with a panel on building community partnerships, moderated by Ms. Rosy Marcel, followed by the Valedictory Session. 

We are deeply grateful to our faculty, chairpersons and every participant who made these two days so meaningful.
