Honoring excellence in immunology 🧬✨
We were proud to present the 2025 Jeffrey Modell Prize to Dr. Patricia Rodriguez Morales, standing alongside Harvard Immunology Graduate Committee program directors Dr. Shiv Pillai and Dr. Wendy Garrett. This award celebrates a graduating PhD student whose research is advancing the future of immunology.
The evening also featured opening remarks from Dr. Fred Alt, representing the Jeffrey Modell Foundation at this special annual event at Harvard Medical School.
Here’s to the researchers, mentors, and leaders driving progress forward. 💙

@SilviaSchzRamon Wonderful! I hope you are coming to Maastricht- my trainee submitted a poster on hyposplenism- our question was when to think overlap- your paper will be well referenced! looking forward to speaking in person! One day!
The annual MDSAS immunoglobulin database report has landed and makes interesting reading.

Secondary antibody deficiency is highlighted as a growth area; since 2013 there has been a 124% increase in people with SAD and 207% increase in IgRT use to treat
@immunologydoc A lot of immunomodulatory treatments are considered essential,with disproportionate scrutiny for cases requiring replacement doses it seems, replacement significantly lower in grams. Science base for the 2-4 g/kg, 6 weekly regimens, I am yet to understand.
We have just published our new best practice recommendations on the scope and clinical direction of immunology testing (G196), written by Dr Ravishankar Sargur. Find it here:

✨ Day 2 of #DHM2026 in Antwerp delivered another inspiring and dynamic programme!
The day began with the JM Educational Session, followed by parallel symposia addressing emerging mechanisms in drug hypersensitivity and drug hypersensitivity in the era of biologicals, sparking insightful discussions among participants.
The morning continued with Plenary 2: Advances in Drug Hypersensitivity Diagnosis, highlighting the latest developments shaping both research and clinical practice.
During the Poster Discussion Sessions, attendees engaged in lively exchanges across a broad spectrum of topics—from β-lactam allergy and NSAIDs to immediate and delayed reactions, desensitisation, paediatrics, and in vitro studies—showcasing the diversity and depth of current research.
In the afternoon, the programme explored key areas including drug hypersensitivity in cancer and chemotherapy, primary mast cell disorders, and thought-provoking sessions on fact and fiction in β-lactam allergy as well as hypersensitivity in immunologically vulnerable populations.
The day concluded with the Oral Abstract Prize Competition, celebrating outstanding contributions from emerging researchers in the field.
As we look ahead to the final day, #DHM2026 continues to foster collaboration, innovation, and excellence in drug allergy.
