Pathobiology 2026

Pathobiology 2026 – May 16-19, 2026, in Fort Myers, Florida. Similar to the past two Annual Meetings, Pathobiology 2026 will be a stand-alone meeting that will leverage our society’s unique strengths in the understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms of disease.

For Pathobiology 2026, we have preserved a successfully tested meeting schedule with the objective of maximizing the meeting experience for all attendees and increasing the focus on trainees and early-career investigators.

Most of the major symposiums will include abstract-driven short talks by young investigators to compliment the presentations delivered by invited speakers. During Pathobiology 2026 there will only be two concurrent sessions at any given time, which will increase the audience for all sessions.

There will be several minisymposia on various research topics that will be composed of abstract-driven short talks, with priority given to trainees and young investigators. All other abstracts will be scheduled into poster sessions that will be held in late afternoon with no competing platform sessions to ensure that all attendees can participate in the poster discussions. Further, each poster session will be preceded by a series of poster blitz talks – short rapid-fire talks that will preview selected posters.

The scientific program for Pathobiology 2026 has been finalized and represents a dynamic and exciting lineup of basic, clinical, and translational research presented by both well-known senior and up-and-coming junior scientists.

The program has been created by members of the ASIP Program Committee in collaboration with leaders of Scientific Interest Groups (SIGs). Pathobiology 2026 will also welcome the following guest societies: American Physician Scientists Association (APSA), Società Italiana di Patologia e Medicina Traslazionale/Italian Society of Pathology and Translational Medicine (SIPMeT), American Society for Matrix Biology (ASMB), The Histochemical Society (HCS), The Society for Cardiovascular Pathology (SCVP), and the Society of Toxicologic Pathology (STP).

The annual meeting includes symposia, workshops, and award lectures communicating cutting edge scientific sessions, commingled with educational and professional development sessions appealing to trainees and junior faculty. Reflecting the ASIP membership, there will be a strong emphasis on:

Liver Pathobiology
Mucosal Pathobiology
Neuropathology
Gene Expression
Inflammation and Immunopathology
Infectious Diseases
Cardiovascular Biology
Endothelial and Epithelial Barriers
Cancer Pathobiology
Spatial Tools to Study Organ Pathology
