Our comprehensive program will spotlight the leading immunological research from Australia, New Zealand and around the world. The program will include a wide range of topics covering cutting-edge fundamental, translational, and clinical immunology—from infection, inflammation, and autoimmunity to tumour immunology, and immunometabolism.
Our meeting venue, QT Canberra, provides an intimate environment designed to support vibrant discussion and collaboration. Set close to the city centre, on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, you will be within easy reach to a thriving food and wine scene, national museums and galleries and scenic outdoor spaces providing every opportunity to immerse yourself in the best Canberra has to offer.
We look forward to welcoming you to ASI 2026 in Canberra—a meeting that promises rich scientific exchange, renewed connections, and an engaging celebration of our immunology community.
