Our Plenary Speakers
A Glimpse into the Future of Immunodeficiency Research
The plenary sessions of ESID 2026 promise to be an exciting exploration into the rapidly evolving field of immunodeficiencies. This year’s lineup brings together groundbreaking topics that span from cutting-edge science to real-world clinical applications.
Delve into the intricacies of immune metabolism, explore new insights in pathway dissection and clinical translation, and gain a deeper understanding of the critical host-pathogen interactions that shape immune responses. Sessions also highlight the pivotal role of the thymus in immune tolerance and the expanding potential of artificial intelligence in diagnosing and managing Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI).
Join us for a programme filled with inspiring talks, thought-provoking sessions, and invaluable networking opportunities with the world’s leading experts.
