HPI Virtual 2026
From
Infection to Innovation
Decoding Host–Parasite Interactions. Join leading researchers and global experts for a premier one-day global online platform exploring the complex dynamics of host-parasite relationships.
About the Conference
The International Virtual Conference on Host–Parasite Interactions (HPI Virtual 2026) is a premier one-day global online platform that brings together leading researchers, parasitologists, immunologists, molecular biologists, clinicians, academicians, and industry experts to explore the complex relationships between hosts and parasites.
The conference will highlight the biological, immunological, and molecular mechanisms underlying parasitic infections, with a focus on immune evasion, pathogenesis, drug discovery, vaccine development, and emerging therapeutic strategies.
With the growing global health challenges posed by parasitic diseases, HPI Virtual 2026 aims to foster rapid knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, and translational approaches for improved disease prevention and control.
