We are here to bridge our legacy with the profound impact of our profession today, moving forward as an inclusive community of creativity, collaboration and indomitable hope.

Todd V. Ester, D.D.S., M.A., Chair of the ADEA Board of Directors and Clinical Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Well-Being and People at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, knows first-hand about Bridging Pathways. As a first-generation college graduate born and raised in Detroit, MI, Dr. Ester understands the impact dentistry can have on one’s family and community. A modern-day trailblazer, Dr. Ester is a connector and mentor who, with compassion and purpose, has led many across the bridge into our great dental education community.

ADEA members are advancing access to greater health care every day. Whether spearheading a dental education-wide climate assessment in the United States and Canada; expanding access to oral health care services in our communities; partnering with global organizations to advance research and health equity; leading interprofessional initiatives among the academic professions and practice; ensuring tangible progress around faculty and leadership diversity, recruitment and retention; or developing sustainable models that will empower the next generation of oral health innovators, ADEA members are meeting this moment.

When he was growing up, Dr. Ester remembers looking across the Ambassador Bridge from Detroit to Windsor, Canada, realizing the endless possibilities provided by that single pathway. He understood the multicultural confluence, historic progress and innovation born of the shared waters of the Detroit River (Rivière du Détroit).

It is in this very spirt of collaboration, innovation and our unwavering commitment to better health for all that we welcome the oral health community throughout North America and around the globe to join us for Bridging Pathways, Advancing Access―the 2026 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition―on March 21-24, 2026, in modern and multicultural Montréal, Canada.

Cancer is a complex and dynamic biological system whereby individual cells comprise elemental units of evolutionary selection. As such, comprehensive analysis and interpretation of cancer properties require precise investigation at single cell resolution. Several fundamental questions in cancer biology remain poorly understood, including transition from pre-malignancy to tumor, clonal evolution & plasticity, intra-tumor heterogeneity, tumor-stroma interaction, mechanisms for initiation, metastasis, therapeutic resistance and the immune microenvironment. These questions have been difficult to address through characterization of bulk tissue samples, which are limited to providing an average signal from a complex population of cells. Nevertheless, the field is witnessing a rapid advance in single cell and imaging technologies, which are providing a powerful, multimodal approach to address these questions.

This Gordon Research Conference is the only forum dedicated to Single Cell Cancer Biology. It brings together leading researchers with different background that use single cell technologies to address a range of problems in basic cancer biology, translational, and clinical oncology. The meeting features sessions on pre-malignancies and clonal evolution, intra-tumor heterogeneity, cell-cell interactions in tumor microenvironment, technical advances in single cell protocols and computational methods for data analysis and modeling, single cell and spatial profiling technologies in clinical practice, liquid biopsy, and single-cell multi-omics. By fostering close interactions and active discussion among practitioners from many disciplines and from both academia and industry, we aim to foster leadership for the coming decade of rapid progress in research and applications relevant to Single Cell Cancer Biology.

The innate immune system detects disruptions in physiology—such as infection, tissue injury, and metabolic stress—and coordinates responses to restore balance. This requires a wide range of cells, receptors, and effector pathways that sense danger, initiate inflammation, and promote healing. While typically protective, dysregulated innate immune responses can lead to infection or pathology. Increasingly, maladaptive innate immunity is recognized as a key contributor to diseases linked to lifestyle and aging, including metabolic syndrome and neurodegeneration.

This conference will bring together multidisciplinary perspectives on innate immunity, covering the fundamental science of innate immune mechanisms and the integration of immune diversity, including recent advances in innate immune danger-sensing and effector mechanisms across diverse cell types including macrophages, dendritic cells and epithelial barrier cells.

As a joint meeting with the Keystone Aging Symposium, this meeting will allow valuable exchange and world-leading expertise in the fields of Aging and Inflammation, to discuss how inflammatory responses shape healthy versus unhealthy aging, as well as industry approaches and emerging therapeutic opportunities for targeting inflammatory mechanisms in diseases associated with aging.

The emerging role of the immune system in aging and its impact on organ health, longevity, and rejuvenation is the focus of this Keystone Symposia conference. The program showcases recent discoveries linking immune function and inflammation to aging and age-related diseases of different organ systems, as well as new therapeutic possibilities that arise from these insights.

This unique meeting will integrate cutting-edge research in immunology and organ biology to examine how immune signaling influences organ preservation and inter-organ communication, which are critical for longevity. The meeting will be held jointly with the Keystone Symposia on Innate Immunity: Diversity in Host Defense and Disease, to foster cross-disciplinary insights and collaborations between immunologists and aging experts to advance therapeutic strategies for healthy aging.

Workshops, career roundtables, and targeted sessions will enhance communication and connections across academia and industry.
