Speaker
Dr Lulu Song
Deputy Director
China-Japan Friendship Hospital
Preservation of β-Cell function, rather than insulin resistance, is key to diabetes prevention in high-risk individuals
11:00 AM - 11:15 AMBiography
Dr. Song serves as Deputy Director of the Endocrinology Department, China-Japan Friendship Hospital. Her main research interests cover type 2 diabetes, diabetes microvascular complications and metabolic syndrome management.
Dr Dongni Yu
Chief Physician
Beijing Hospital
5:2 Intermittent fasting with meal replacement improves TyG index and insulin resistance in early Type 2 Diabetes: A post hoc analysis of the EARLY trial
11:15 AM - 11:30 AMBiography
Dr. Dongni Yu is an Chief Physician in the Department of Endocrinology at Beijing Hospital, China. Her clinical and research interests focus on metabolic diseases, particularly diabetes and obesity management. She is actively involved in clinical trials and patient education to improve metabolic health outcomes.
Dr Yixuan Sun
Phd Student
Adelaide University
The insulinotropic response to endogenous GIP in people with suboptimally controlled type 2 diabetes before and after 12 weeks of sitagliptin treatment
11:30 AM - 11:45 AMBiography
Dr. Yixuan Sun has recently graduated from Adelaide University, and her research focuses on the role of gastrointestinal function in metabolic diseases.
Dr Andrzej Januszewski
Senior Research Fellow
University of Sydney
Socioeconomic status modifies triglyceride-rich lipoprotein response to fenofibrate in the FIELD trial
11:45 AM - 12:00 PMBiography
Dr Andrzej Januszewski is a clinician-researcher at the University of Sydney focused on diabetes complications, insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk and biomarkers. His work integrates clinical trials, epidemiology and socioeconomic data to address health equity and access to care. He developed multiple online tools to improve risk prediction and doctor–patient communication.
Dr Ghizal Fatima
Associate Professor
Era University
Chronogenetic and hormonal rhythm alterations in adolescent metabolic syndrome: Implications for early chronotherapeutic intervention
12:00 PM - 12:15 PMBiography
Dr. Ghizal Fatima is an Associate Professor and Head of the Chronobiology Unit at ERA Medical College, Lucknow. Her research focuses on circadian biology, chronogenetics, and biomarker-based precision medicine, with extensive experience in translational research, international collaborations, and academic leadership in biomedical sciences.
Dr Chunjie Xiang
Postdoc
Southest University
Serum bile acid response to an oral glucose load is exaggerated in newly diagnosed, treatment-naive, Chinese with type 2 diabetes and reduced by insulin-pump therapy
12:15 PM - 12:30 PMBiography
Chunjie Xiang is a postdoctoral researcher at Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University, Nanjing. Her research focuses on gastrointestinal physiology and glycaemic control in health and type 2 diabetes, with an emphasis on translational and clinical research.
