Dear Friends,
It is with immense pleasure and heartfelt enthusiasm that we welcome you to the 7th International Conference on Nutraceuticals and Chronic Diseases (INCD 2025), being held in conjunction with the 11th Symposium of the Society for Translational Cancer Research, hosted by the University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram. The Society jointly organizes this prestigious gathering for Nutraceuticals and Chronic Diseases (SNCI) and the Society on Translational Cancer Research (ISTCR), both of which are deeply committed to fostering innovation, advancing scientific research, and strengthening global collaborations in the field of nutraceuticals and their role in chronic disease management.
Over the years, INCD has emerged as a prominent platform for knowledge exchange, bringing together leading scientists, clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals worldwide. Following the resounding success of our previous editions in Cochin (2016), Goa (2017), Rishikesh (2018), Guwahati (2019), Delhi (2022), and Chandigarh (2024), we are delighted to host the 7th edition in Kerala-fondly known as the “Land of Spices”-a region celebrated for its unparalleled biodiversity, time-honored medicinal traditions, and rich cultural legacy.
INCD 2025 promises to be an exciting and intellectually stimulating event, featuring an expansive scientific program that explores the therapeutic potential of nutraceuticals derived from spices, dietary agents, and medicinal plants. We will delve into their emerging roles in the prevention and treatment of cancer, metabolic disorders, neurological and psychiatric conditions, immunological imbalances, and other chronic ailments. The conference will include plenary talks by global thought leaders, invited keynote addresses, young scientist award presentations, oral and poster sessions, and interactive panel discussions aimed at fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and innovation.
We are especially pleased to welcome experts, scholars, and practitioners from a spectrum of healthcare systems—allopathic, ayurvedic, homeopathic, unani, modern integrative, and traditional medicine—to share their knowledge and perspectives in shaping the future of evidence-based nutraceutical science.
Set against the tranquil backdrop of Kerala, a state deeply rooted in nature, Ayurveda, and holistic living, this conference offers a unique opportunity for scientific exchange and meaningful collaborations that can transform global health outcomes.
We invite you to join us at INCD 2025– a confluence of tradition, science, and innovation-as we collectively advance our understanding of nutraceuticals and their powerful potential to redefine chronic disease management and human well-being.
