These changes affect various systems in the body, particularly the immune system.\u00a0\u00a0As people age, their immune function declines through a process known as <strong>immunosenescence<\/strong>. This decline leads to several significant consequences, such as increased vulnerability to infections, weaker responses to vaccines, higher rates of inflammatory diseases, and a reduced ability to combat cancer.\u00a0This decline of healthy immune responses significantly affects the quality of life in older age.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, age-related decline of the immune function is largely considered inevitable, ongoing research is beginning to unravel the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind this process. Research that focuses on finding ways to mitigate the decline of immune responses in older individuals will have a significant impact on public health and alleviate the burden on healthcare

<\/a>(deadline: 31 May 2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In alignment with the Institut Pasteur\u2019s scientific strategy (Axis 4: Health and disease at extreme ages of life), the conference will be structured around four thematic sessions: early life window, mid-life changes, later life, and interventions for healthy ageing. The conference will take place at the Amphith\u00e9\u00e2tre Duclaux, Institut Pasteur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are honoured to host distinguished keynote speakers, including <strong>Prof. Yasmine Belkaid<\/strong>, President of the Institut Pasteur and internationally recognized for her work on host\u2013microbiota interactions and tissue immunity, with recent research focusing on the mother\u2013child dyad, and <strong>Prof. Rose-Anne Kenny<\/strong>, Regius Professor of Physic at Trinity College Dublin and Principal Investigator of TILDA, a leading expert in ageing research integrating large-scale cohort data to study cardiovascular and neurocognitive ageing and promote healthy longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme also features an outstanding line-up of invited speakers: <strong>Prof. Capucine Picard<\/strong> (Universit\u00e9 Paris Cit\u00e9 \/ Necker\u2013Enfants Malades Hospital), specializing in inborn errors of immunity; <strong>Prof. Arnaud Marchant<\/strong> (Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles), focusing on early-life immunology and vaccinology; <strong>Prof. Elizabeth Rosser<\/strong> (University College London), studying regulatory B cells and immune tolerance; <strong>Dr. Etienne Patin<\/strong> (Institut Pasteur), a population geneticist investigating evolutionary immunology; <strong>Dr. Thomas Jackson<\/strong> (Imperial College London), working on virus\u2013host interactions and viral entry; <strong>Prof. Arne Akbar<\/strong> (University College London), a leading authority on T cell biology and immune ageing; <strong>Prof. Maria Mittelbrunn<\/strong> (CBMSO-CSIC, Madrid), researching immune ageing and intercellular communication; and <strong>Prof. Arnaud Didierlaurent<\/strong>, an expert in innate immune activation and vaccine adjuvant biology.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\">\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained
