Discover What’s Next in Neuroimmunology Drug Development

The 8th Neuroimmunology Drug Development Summit is the definitive meeting uniting the brightest minds in pharma, biotech, and academia to accelerate the next generation of immune-modulating therapies for neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, and inflammatory CNS disorders.

With Sanofi’s acquisition of Vigil Neuroscience to expand TREM2-targeting assets, Neurocrine’s strategic NLRP3 licensing deal, and growing interest in TYK2 and other immune pathways reshaping CNS drug pipelines, the field is decoding the mechanisms driving neuroinflammation and unlocking fresh therapeutic opportunities beyond established targets like TREM2, NLRP3, and BTK.

Across four immersive workshop sessions and three days of cutting-edge content, you’ll explore how peripheral-central immune interactions, emerging biomarkers, and innovative preclinical models are reshaping how CNS disorders are understood, targeted, and treated.

Expect an agenda packed with actionable insights, interactive discussions, and unparalleled networking opportunities with 50+ senior discovery, preclinical, and translational leaders from Sanofi, Biogen, Pfizer, Merck, Muna Therapeutics, Lundbeck, AbbVie, and more. 

Join this exclusive community of scientific and strategic pioneers and be part of the movement transforming neuroimmunology R&D and advancing therapies for patients in urgent need.
