Digestive Disease Mechanism (DDM) Summit

Join us for three days focused on the cellular drivers of inflammation in digestive diseases. This summit advances mechanistic insight and shapes the future of digestive health.

Be part of the breakthrough: 

• Engage with leading scientists exploring how immune, epithelial, and stromal cells drive inflammation, cancer, fibrosis, and regeneration in the gut and liver.
• Understand how immunometabolic pathways, fibrosis and barrier microbiota shape disease progression.
• Explore immune regulation and cancer tolerance. Examine T-cell–focused vaccination strategies, peptide immunotherapies, and transcriptional control of immune responses.
• Discover how advanced translational models bring mechanisms closer to patients. Organoids, 3D functional tissues, stem cell–derived systems, and precision-cut liver slices redefine how human disease is studied.
• Learn how AI, digital pathology, and multi-scale modelling connect cellular behaviour to tissue-level disease.
• Connect with experts, exchange ideas, and build collaborations that accelerate translation.
