Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

Immunopathology and Autoimmune Disease Markers

Advancements in immunopathology are transforming our understanding of the immune system’s role in disease, particularly in autoimmune disorders. This session explores the latest biomarkers used in the diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Emphasis will be placed on novel immunohistochemical techniques, flow cytometry applications, and serological markers that help distinguish complex immune-mediated disorders. Discussions will also highlight the integration of immune profiling with molecular pathology for precise characterization of immune responses. The evolving role of T-cell and B-cell markers, autoantibody panels, and immune checkpoint molecules in pathology labs will be examined. Experts will provide insight into how advancements in immunopathology are contributing to better diagnostic accuracy, guiding immunosuppressive therapy, and predicting patient outcomes. This session offers valuable knowledge for pathologists, immunologists, and laboratory scientists committed to translating immune data into clinically meaningful solutions. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how cutting-edge diagnostic tools in immunopathology are shaping the future of personalized care in autoimmune disease management.
