From the Immune System to Clinical Immunology

The Porto Autoimmune Meeting 2026 (PAM 2026) brings together international experts in systemic autoimmune diseases for three days of focused, clinically driven discussion.

This year’s edition explores the evolution of clinical immunology — from systems biology to precision medicine — addressing how emerging technologies, biomarkers, digital monitoring and advanced therapies are reshaping patient care.

The program is structured around three key themes:

Redefining Autoimmunity – disease architecture, immune states, and new classification paradigms

Precision and Prediction – biomarkers, AI-driven flare prediction, immunogenetics and personalized therapy

Innovation and Integration – CAR-T cells, nanomedicine, microbiome modulation and future therapeutic strategies

Designed for clinicians and researchers, PAM 2026 combines keynote lectures, clinical case discussions, interactive sessions and oral communications, fostering practical insight and multidisciplinary exchange.

Join us in Porto as we move from understanding the immune system to advancing clinical immunology.
