Watch Biologic Therapies Summit X and Vasculitis Online Series, on-demand, complimentary webcasts that brings together world leaders in immune-based therapies to address cutting-edge topics in immunology and rheumatology. Education focuses on vasculitis, including key issues in the differential diagnosis of vasculitis, CNS vasculitis, ANCA-associated vasculitis, and organ-specific issues in vasculitis. In addition, the online series features talks on CAR T-cell therapy, irAEs, precision medicine and the next generation of JAK inhibitors for IMIDs, and advances in complement biology and therapy. A deep dive into rheumatoid arthritis, AS, PsA and SpA, infections, COVID-19, co-morbidities with IMIDs, including ILD and cardiovascular risk in immune-mediated diseases, and lupus. Lastly, the CE-certified webcasts address pain management and the exploration of the social and scientific fundamentals of pain.
