Engage with leading researchers as they present cutting-edge discoveries in diabetes and obesity research. This full-day symposium fosters scientific discussion and collaboration to drive innovative research, multidisciplinary partnerships, and real-world impact. The event features keynote talks from top experts across the U.S., alongside oral and poster presentations from trainees across USC's three campuses and the Southern California region.

As part of DORI's mission to advance diabetes and obesity research across the lifespan, this symposium also reflects our commitment to trainee enrichment, providing a platform for emerging scientists to present their work, engage with experts, and build collaborations that will shape the future of the field. Through interdisciplinary partnerships and community engagement, we aim to transform care and accelerate obesity and diabetes research at USC and beyond.
