Welcome to Banff Inflammation Workshop (BIW 2027)

The Organizing Committee is pleased to invite you to the 14th Biennial Inflammation Workshop (BIW 2027), an international conference highlighting recent advances in basic and translational inflammation research.

Since its inception in 1999, BIW has brought together leading scientists from around the world to share the latest developments in the field, except in 2021, when the meeting was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

BIW 2027 will be hosted at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, nestled in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Known for its highly interactive format, the workshop features invited speakers presenting new and unpublished data, establishing BIW as a premier forum for advances in inflammation research and therapeutics.

Trainees are central to the BIW mission. The workshop offers numerous opportunities for students and early-career researchers to present their work through poster sessions and short talks. Its informal and collegial atmosphere fosters meaningful scientific exchange and mentorship between trainees and senior investigators.
