Over the past five decades, extensive research has established that the dysregulation of multiple genes is the underlying cause of most chronic diseases. Despite this, the majority of pharmaceutical drugs in use today are “monotargeted therapies”-designed to act on a single gene or pathway. While these drugs may offer short-term relief, they often fall short in long-term effectiveness and are frequently accompanied by adverse side effects. In contrast, nature-derived compounds, usually referred to as nutraceuticals, exhibit a multi-targeted approach. These bioactive compounds, originating from spices, medicinal plants, and dietary sources, are known for their long-term efficacy and minimal side effects. Historically, up to 80% of medicines have drawn inspiration from natural products, a tradition deeply rooted in ancient healing systems such as Ayurveda (the science of life), Siddha, Homeopathy, and other traditional practices.

This conference is designed to uncover and examine the scientific foundations underpinning the role of nutraceuticals in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. It will encompass a broad spectrum of disorders, including diabetes, obesity, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, arthritis, cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions, and infectious and neglected diseases. In addition to exploring traditional wisdom, the seminar will delve into modern scientific advancements, including the impact of nutraceuticals on epigenetic modifications, microbiome diversity, biofilm regulation, 4D omics integration, and the use of artificial intelligence in nutraceutical research. Special emphasis will also be placed on translational aspects, particularly in the context of cancer and its associated complications. The event will bring together leading scientists and experts from across the globe who are deeply committed to advancing the field of nutraceutical science.
