The 8th Neuroimmunology Drug Development Summit 2026 is a flagship event for companies advancing therapies at the intersection of neuroscience and immunology.
This guide covers emerging targets, translational models, and clinical trial learnings across MS, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative disease pipelines.
Key themes include:
- Neuroimmune targets and mechanisms
- Translational and preclinical models
- Clinical trial design and endpoints
- Biomarkers and patient stratification
About Hanson Wade Group - 8th Neuroimmunology Drug Development Summit 2026
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 the $470 M buyout of Vigil’s TREM2 asset, Ventus’ NLRP3 inhibitor in phase 2a, and promising phase 3 BTKi readouts from Sanofi and Roche, the field is beginning to show encouraging signs of clinical viability in targeting neuroinflammation. 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 Squibbs and more will unite to share hyper-current 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.
