Your One Stop for Academic Updates

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.

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 Single-Cell Cancer Biology GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

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.

Every year, 10 million people fall ill with tuberculosis (TB) and, despite being a preventable and curable disease, ~1.5 million people die from TB annually. TB is the leading cause of death in people with HIV and a major contributor to antimicrobial resistance. Most of those who fall ill with TB live in low- and middle-income countries, but TB is present all over the world.

Microbiologists, cell biologists, immunologists, and clinicians will come together to collectively tackle the public health challenge that TB presents worldwide. The meeting will showcase new technologies and approaches that will allow us to understand disease across scales, from bacteria to the human host, and their interactions.

The meeting will engage and feature the next generation of TB researchers to drive the field forward and foster cross-disciplinary insights and collaborations. TB mostly affects the Global South, but its research is poorly represented in scientific meetings. In contrast, early-career researchers from the Global South will be enabled to exchange ideas and discuss approaches and resources that are needed for future research with leading experts in the TB field.

The expo brings together various stakeholders such as industry leaders, techpreneurs, digital experts, innovators, researchers, data scientists, investors, government bodies, academics, think tanks, prominent organisations and industry representatives worldwide. Additionally, the event promotes discussion on the adoption of ‘Responsible AI’ in critical global issues such as healthcare, climate change, building a resilient society, and fostering a sustainable future.

The 1st International Conference on Mechanics, Materials and Mechatronics (ICM³ 2026), hosted by Mahindra University, Hyderabad aims to provide a platform for graduate and research scholars, as well as scientists in industry and academia, to share new research and highlight ongoing R&D work. The conference theme, “Mechanics, Materials and Mechatronics: Engineering the Future,” balances classical mechanical engineering with future-focused innovations. The conference will feature keynote lectures by invited experts and technical paper presentations.

The 2026 Canadian Global Oncology Network Conference will be March 23 & 24, 2026 in Toronto. The event will be co-hosted by the University of Toronto Dalla Lana School of Public Health and the Princess Margaret Global Cancer Program.

The theme of this year’s conference is Transforming Health Systems through Global Oncology, reflecting the growing recognition that investments in cancer control can serve as catalysts for broader health system strengthening and innovation.

Welcome to the 11th edition of our International Immunotherapy School. This year, we have invited leading experts from around the world to examine how aging reshapes immune cell development, tissue immunity, and systemic inflammation—and how these processes drive cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, and impaired host defense.

The course integrates foundational immunology with emerging human and translational data, with a focus on actionable pathways and therapeutic strategies to restore immune balance in older adults. It is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, clinicians, and investigators interested in aging biology, immunology, and translational medicine.The 3-day course will be online via Zoom and feature live interactions with Postdocs, Ph.D. students and junior faculty from four continents.
