Building on the success of previous years, the 3rd annual Discovery returns to Philadelphia. PA, from February 26-28. Held in parallel with the AAAAI Annual Meeting, this stand-alone event provides a unique scientific experience that bridges the gap between basic biology and clinical research.
This year’s program focuses on “New Mechanisms of Type 2 Immunity” and will feature a dynamic mix of sessions designed to accelerate translational research. Thursday's sessions will spotlight advances in T cell biology, the interplay between helminths and food allergy, IgE class switching in allergy, and novel findings in genetic variant analysis. On Friday, the focus shifts to emerging topics in neuroimmunology, macrophage plasticity, and the role of the complement system in disease, culminating in a discussion on microbiome diversity’s impact on asthma and allergies. Saturday’s open-access session will explore mucosal immunology and cutting-edge developments in tissue spatial biology, encouraging cross-disciplinary collaboration and participation from all Annual Meeting attendees.
Discovery 2026 will also includes a keynote address by a world-renowned immunologist, selected short talks, poster presentations, and dedicated networking opportunities aimed at supporting junior investigators and fostering innovation.
This is a must-attend U.S. event for anyone interested in the mechanistic science of allergy and immunology. Interest grows each year—secure your place early!
