Translating Discoveries of Glial Biology & Peripheral Immune Pathways into Novel Approaches to Target Neuroinflammation Across the Neurodegenerative Disease Spectrum
Neuroimmunology is entering a defining moment. With Sanofi’s brain-penetrant BTK inhibitor advancing through regulatory review for neuroinflammation in MS, new clinical data demonstrating reversal of neuroinflammatory markers with oral NLRP3 inhibition in Parkinson’s disease, and growing mechanistic insight into TYK2 as a central neuroimmune modulator, the field is building momentum in both translational science and therapeutic innovation.
Now the real race begins: uncovering the next wave of mechanisms, biomarkers, and translational strategies that will move beyond today’s successes and unlock new therapeutic frontiers in neurodegeneration and neuroimmune-driven psychiatric disease.
The 8th Neuroimmunology Drug Development Summit is the industry’s only meeting fully dedicated to advancing novel neuroinflammatory targets, uniquely bridging cutting-edge academic discovery with the practical lens of drug development. This year’s expanded program goes deeper than ever into emerging glial biology (TREM2 & beyond), peripheral immune pathways, and the technologies redefining how we discover, validate, and measure neuroinflammatory targets.
Across three days, 50+ discovery, preclinical, and translational leaders from Biogen, Sanofi, Merck, Lundbeck, Vigil Neuroscience, Bristol Myers Squibb and more will unite to share insights on merging neuroinflammatory mechanisms, cutting-edge glial models and omics technologies accelerating target discovery, next-generation biomarkers enhancing translation, and early clinical signals from novel neuroimmune-targeting therapies.
Join the global neuroimmunology community this year and help define the future of immune-modulating therapies for the brain.

Explore the Transformative Era of Neuroimmunology
At this year’s 8th Neuroimmunology Drug Development Summit, we unite the scientific, clinical, and industry leaders redefining how immune mechanisms are understood, targeted, and translated into transformative CNS therapies. As the field moves beyond symptom management toward disease-modifying strategies, this meeting provides a focused platform to explore the most promising immune targets shaping the future of neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory drug development.
From innate immune signaling and microglial biology to adaptive immune cell modulation and the gut-brain interface, the summit delivers comprehensive coverage of high-impact pathways driving next-generation innovation.
By bringing together biotech innovators, big pharma leaders, academic pioneers, and translational researchers, the summit fosters the cross-sector collaboration required to accelerate immune-targeted therapies from discovery through clinical development.
Join the conversation at the forefront of neuroimmunology, where breakthrough biology meets strategic drug development.
