🎄🧬 While lymphocytes stand guard day and night,
and immunity keeps us safe and strong,
may your holidays be peaceful and bright,
filled with health, joy, and moments long.

May immune memory last all year through,
protecting dreams, ideas, and goals you pursue,
and may the New Year bring breakthroughs ahead
in science, discovery, and paths yet to be led.

Warm holiday wishes from

🎤 The Art of Public Speaking
✨ Elevate the way you communicate your science! ✨

Scientific communication is becoming more important than ever - whether you're giving your first student talk, presenting your PhD work, pitching a project, or dreaming of that future Nobel lecture 😉.
But here’s the good news: great speaking skills can be learned - and this workshop will show you how. 💡🎯

During this 2-hour interactive workshop, you’ll explore the tools, tricks, and mindset that turn a good scientific talk into an unforgettable one. 🌟

📘 Part 1: How to give a confident and compelling scientific presentation
Learn a practical approach using PAT (Prepare, Anticipate, Target) and RAT (Relax, Articulate, Translate).
We’ll break down how to adapt your message to different formats - from big lectures to pitch/flash talks to virtual presentations. 🎬📊💻

📗 Part 2: The art of scientific storytelling on print & social media
Discover how to tell the story behind your research in a way that engages readers and followers.
From popular science articles to social media posts - learn how to make your science accessible, relatable, and share-worthy. 📝📱✨

Science is evolving - and so is the way we talk about it.
Let’s grow your confidence, your presence, and your voice as a scientist. 🔥🔬

👥 Limited to 30 participants - save your spot!
Let’s bring your science to life. 🌿🚀

🌉 ImmunoBridge 2026 – Keynote Speaker 🌉
We are excited to welcome Dr. Aleksandra Kołodziejczyk, a leading specialist in single-cell transcriptomics and host–microbiota interactions, to this year’s conference. 🌿🧬

During her PhD at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Dr. Kołodziejczyk developed foundational methods for single-cell RNA-seq analysis - including tools for quantifying technical variability and identifying low-quality cells. 🔍 She applied these approaches to:
- dissect T-cell heterogeneity
- reveal how culture conditions shape variability within the pluripotency network of mouse embryonic stem cells 🧫

🧬 In her postdoctoral research, she explored how the microbiota influences immune and metabolic responses across tissues, both in animal models and clinical settings. Using large-scale single-cell profiling, she:
- identified tissue-specific host responses to the microbiota
- uncovered Myc-driven activation programs in liver-resident cells
- discovered microbiota-derived metabolites regulating body weight after smoking cessation
- revealed how hyperglycaemia impairs dendritic-cell function, increasing susceptibility to viral infections 🦠

She is also active in comparative immunology, studying conserved and divergent antiviral programs in bats, rodents, and primates - with a focus on mucosal immunity and complement system evolution. 🦇🐭🧪

During ImmunoBridge 2026, Dr. Kołodziejczyk will serve as an expert in the Microbiome Immunology Session, bringing cutting-edge insights into the complex interplay between hosts and their microbial communities. 🌟

🌉 ImmunoBridge 2026 – Keynote Speaker 🌉
We are thrilled to introduce Dr. Ali Jawaid, MD, PhD, an exceptional physician-scientist whose work bridges clinical and basic neuroscience.

Dr. Jawaid is a Principal Research Investigator at Łukasiewicz – PORT, leading innovative research on metabolic and epigenetic factors shaping vulnerability to neuropsychiatric disorders across the lifespan and generations. His scientific path spans Pakistan, the USA, and Switzerland — from a Neuropsychiatry fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine to an MD-PhD at UZH/ETH and a postdoctoral fellowship in Neuroepigenetics at ETH Zurich.

🧠 With 80+ scientific publications in top-tier journals such as Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, Nature Communications, and EMBO Journal, and as a member of the prestigious FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence, he stands among Europe’s leading emerging neuroscientists. Beyond science, he is also a fiction writer, poet, and VR enthusiast.

During ImmunoBridge 2026, Dr. Jawaid will:
🔹 chair the Neuroimmunology Session,
🔹 lead the workshop “The Art of Public Speaking”,
🔹 and deliver an inspiring keynote lecture on the future of neuroimmunology.

We can’t wait to hear his insights!

🌉 ImmunoBridge 2026 – Keynote Speaker 🌉
We’re thrilled to announce Dr. Róisín McManus, a leading voice in neuroimmunology whose groundbreaking work is reshaping our understanding of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. 🧠🔬
Dr. McManus completed her PhD at Trinity College Dublin, exploring how infection affects the aging brain. Her research journey took her to Germany, where at the University of Bonn and DZNE she uncovered a novel role of NLRP3 in driving Alzheimer’s progression - a discovery that has influenced the global field. 🇩🇪✨
In 2024, she received a prestigious DZNE Fellowship to establish her own group, Translational Neuroimmunology, focused on how environmental factors like diet impact dementia through chronic innate immune activation and metabolic signaling. 🥼🧪🍽️
🎤 Keynote Title:
Microglial innate immune signalling as a driver of dementia.
Get ready for an inspiring and eye-opening session! 🌟
