Are you looking to master the fundamentals of Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) through interactive, clinically focused sessions? Designed specifically for junior clinicians, researchers, and specialists, the ESID Educational Day translates complex science into everyday clinical practice.

Join world-leading experts as they explore real-life clinical cases, cutting-edge diagnostic tools, and the practical frameworks you need to support your patients.

Dive deep into the intricate machinery of the human immune system. This two-part session features foundational reviews of the complement cascade alongside highly interactive clinical explorations of autoinflammatory conditions.

• Part I: The Complement System — Led by Taco Kuipers & Kate Sullivan, focusing on how complement defects present in the clinic and how to suspect them early.
• Part II: Autoinflammatory Diseases — Led by translational experts Anna Mensa & Marco Gattorno, detailing the fine line between immune deficiency and hyperinflammation, followed by an open panel discussion.

How do we move seamlessly from raw laboratory results to life-altering clinical decisions? This session bridges clinical immunology lab diagnostics with database-driven epidemiological power.

• Part III: The Clinical Laboratory — A practical session with Marta Rizzi, Jacques Van Dongen, and Kimberly Gilmour on leveraging flow cytometry, cellular immunology, and diagnostics in daily laboratory workflows.
• Part IV: Useful Applications of the ESID Registry — Led by Markus Seidel, exploring how registry data can be used to track patient cohorts, study rare phenotypes, and fuel your junior research projects.

Genetic diagnosis is the ultimate frontier in defining inborn errors of immunity. In this fast-paced, interactive session, we focus on the realities of identifying rare variants and connecting them back to patient care.

• Part V: Genetics — Discover the latest in diagnostic pipelines, whole exome sequencing (WES), and variant interpretation with genomic experts Roger Colobran & Alex Hoischen.

In clinical immunology, the most valuable lessons come from the cases that refuse to follow the textbook.

True to its name, the “Expect the Unexpected” ESID Junior’s Session speaker list it’s still under wraps, because in a room full of hidden twists, rare phenotypes, and high-energy expert debates, the only thing guaranteed is the unexpected!

Prepare for case presentations, dynamic expert panels, and audience discussions where anyone might hold the key to the diagnosis.
