The 3rd Annual Meeting of the International Society of Nucleic Acid Immunity (NAIS26)

Held on September 16-18, 2026, at the Nara Kasugano International Forum in Nara, Japan, NAIS26 brought together 169 researchers from 17 countries, including 125 international participants. As the first NAIS annual meeting held outside Europe, the conference provided an international platform for advancing nucleic acid immunology.

The scientific program featured a keynote lecture, 18 invited lectures, 14 oral presentations, and 96 poster presentations, covering topics such as infectious diseases, inflammation, autoimmunity, cancer immunology, and nucleic acid-based drug discovery. Four early-career researchers received awards for outstanding poster presentations.

Through scientific discussions and networking events, the meeting fostered international collaboration and provided valuable opportunities for young researchers to engage with leading scientists in the field.
