Regulate, don’t suppress: A functional approach to inflammation and immunomodulation
Dates: Wednesday 9th & 23rd September 2026, at 01:30pm – 4.30pm
This course opens with a focused revision of inflammation as a staged immunological process. From innate activation through to adaptive recruitment, amplification and resolution, with attention to the clinical levers available at each stage.
It then introduces the principles of immunomodulation, what it means to work upstream rather than suppress, how to assess the inflammatory landscape before selecting tools and why choosing interventions that act on multiple points of the cascade offers genuine clinical advantage.
The role of oxidative stress as both a driver and a consequence of immune dysregulation is addressed in depth, including how reactive oxygen species, redox imbalance, and post-translational protein modification contribute to the initiation and perpetuation of autoimmunity.
