The Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB, A*STAR) invites you to the Singapore Symposium on Brain-Body Interactions (SSBBI) 2026.

​​

Inaugurated in 2007 and held annually, SSBBI (originally named Singapore Symposium on Metabolic Diseases) has been a forum to bring together world experts in the broad areas of diabetes, obesity and metabolic diseases to share their latest research findings and insights. The event also serves as a platform for the invited speakers and participants to meet and forge collaborations with local scientists. In 2024, the symposium was rebranded as the Singapore Symposium on Brain-Body Interactions (SSBBI) to reflect the significant expansion of the contents and the themes of the conference.

 

This year’s event will be held on 28-29 Oct and will comprise 16 overseas speakers. The topics to be discussed at the symposium will span from basic science to clinical research and cover research topics in neuroscience, metabolism, novel technologies, and brain-body interactions. Professor Thomas SÜDHOF, Nobel Laureate from Stanford University, will be presenting a keynote talk.

​

Invited overseas speakers:
Thomas SÜDHOF (Stanford Univ.), Qingming LUO (Hainan Univ.), Annabel WANG (City of Hope), Jia LI (Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica), Duanqing PEI (Westlake Univ.), Xiaoyong YANG (Yale Univ.), Jae Bum KIM (Seoul National Univ.), Aimin XU (Hong Kong Univ.), Ganna PANASYUK (Necker Institute), Zhiping PANG (Rutgers Univ.), Volker HAUCKE (FMP Berlin), Rafael FERNANDEZ-CHACON (Univ. of Seville), Scott SUMMERS (University of Utah), Peter SHEPHERD (Univ. of Auckland), ​​Michael HÄUSSER (Hong Kong Univ.), Yingming ZHAO (Univ. of Chicago).
