Join us for the inaugural Cascadia Mucosal Biology Symposium in Seattle, Washington.

Co-hosted by the University of Washington and the Allen Institute, this meeting brings together mucosal biologists and immunologists from across the region to share and discuss the latest mechanistic and translational research on health and disease at mucosal surfaces. The meeting provides opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and showcasing the outstanding science conducted in the Seattle area and the broader Pacific Northwest.

Immunologists, clinicians, developmental biologists, and others studying mucosal tissues are encouraged to attend to present their work, learn from colleagues, and build connections. Trainees are especially encouraged to attend.

Registration is free and lunch will be provided. Abstract submissions open in April 2026. Check this page in February for further details and submission links.
