#IMMUNOLOGY2026 highlights work across the field, including Andrew Monteith, PhD (Univ. of Tenn.) on how immune signaling rewires neutrophils in lupus. Grateful to @aai.org for convening this community and for enabling us to support early-career researchers, like Dr. Monteith through travel grants.
We’re glad to support the important work of the American Association of Immunologists and help make it possible for two early-career #autoimmune researchers to attend Immunology 2026 through AAI’s travel grants. Thank you to AAI for organizing a meeting that brings the immunology community together!
In the latest Autoimmune Association podcast, Dr. Nina Luning Prak (@upenn.edu, @penncoltoncenter.bsky.social) speaks with 2025 Nobel Laureates in Medicine, Dr. Mary Brunkow and Dr. Fred Ramsdell about the landmark discovery of FOXP3 and regulatory T cells (Tregs). youtu.be/FsFbsnGAqm8?...
Join us April 21 at 11 AM ET for the Colton Consortium Virtual Speaker Seminar ft. Ruslan Medzhitov, PhD of the Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Medzhitov will discuss how environmental factors shape adaptive immunity and their implications for inflammation, allergy, and disease.

Are you part of the #autoimmunity or #immunology research community? Join us Feb. 17 at 11 AM ET for a seminar with Yaakov Levine, PhD (SetPoint Medical), a leader in bioelectronic medicine whose work helped advance FDA-approved vagus nerve–based therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. bit.ly/LevineFeb17
Next Tuesday (3/17, 11:00am ET), the Colton Consortium welcomes Stefan Feske, MD (NYU Grossman School of Medicine)! Researchers and trainees in #autoimmunity and #immunology are invited to join his talk on “IFN-γ-Producing Th1 Cells and Treg Cells in Sjögren's Disease.” RSVP: https://bit.ly/4bBeUaT
Join the Colton Consortium Virtual Speaker Series on Jan. 20 (11am ET) ft. Golnaz Vahedi, PhD (@upenn.edu). Her recent work identifies a hidden subset of immune “attack” cells that emerge early in Type 1 diabetes—offering clues for blood-based detection and earlier intervention. bit.ly/VahediJan20
Join us next Tuesday (May 19, 11am ET) for the Colton Consortium Virtual Seminar featuring Montserrat Anguera, PhD (Penn Vet) who will be covering "Sex Differences in Autoimmune Disease: Xist RNA-Mediated Mechanisms That Influence B Cell Function." Registration required: https://bit.ly/4wwhLdP

Today, the 2026 Penn Colton Center for #Autoimmunity Symposium brings together the Penn #autoimmune research community—spanning diverse disease areas and the full continuum of discovery—to share new insights in diagnosing, treating, and preventing autoimmune diseases.
Scientific discovery is a team effort. 🧬 We are incredibly grateful to our #IMMUNOLOGY2026™ Travel Award sponsors for their commitment to supporting researchers and advancing human health. Thank you for making these opportunities possible!
