The purpose of this gathering was to discuss and shape research questions and themes. Specifically, the focus of this meeting was on refining research methodologies related to diabetes and obesity under the guidance of Prof. Prasert Auewarakul, M.D., Ph.D., and the SiCORE-M team. We express our sincere gratitude to all the researchers for generously contributing their time and insightful comments.
The Ideasphere meeting, initiated by SiCORE-M at the beginning of 2024, aims to foster collaboration by inviting high-potential researchers from the Siriraj Center of Research for Excellence Network, as well as master researchers from other research groups within Siriraj, to collectively address research questions. Since its inception in January 2024, this meeting has been held four times, with the most recent gathering taking place in March 2024.
