This page presents educational material, infographics, and video highlights from our recent ADVENT symposia, including the 2025 World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, exploring the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation and atopic dermatitis, the burden of disease leading to cumulative life course impairment (CLCI), and the risk of the atopic march in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.

This cross-TA plenary session addressed challenges in type 2 inflammation-driven diseases. Esteemed faculty, including Profs Klaus Rabe, Sharon Dell, Anju Peters, Milli Gupta, Eric Simpson, Stella Lee, and moderator Oscar Palomares, discussed strategies to enhance quality of life, reduce disease burden, and prioritize patient-centered care.
Join experts Roland Buhl, Joaquim Mullol, and Giselle Mosnaim as they discuss the role of type 2 inflammation across the unified airway, with a focus on the amplified burden and the difficulty controlling inflammation when asthma and CRSwNP coexist.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares highlights how patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases often experience multimorbidities, with overlapping symptoms that amplify their overall disease burden and impact quality of life.

In this video from the April 2025 WCPD symposium, Dr Paula Luna discusses the multidimensional disease burden in pediatric patients with AD and the data regarding how early intervention may lead to long-term disease control and a reduced risk of developing non-atopic comorbidities.

Many AD treatment goals focus on clinical manifestations, so that if a patient is free of lesions, their disease is considered well controlled. However, the inflammatory process underlying AD reaches far beyond the skin, affecting patients in unique ways at different stages of their lives. Education on the importance of treating AD beyond the skin and altering the treatment approach to fit the individual patient will help improve clinical management and reduce long-term patient burden.

In this educational presentation, Profs. Vibeke Backer and Sietze Reitsma cover key aspects of type 2 inflammation and its role in the pathogenesis and management of CRSwNP and practical strategies for optimizing disease control and improving patient outcomes.
Join experts Jonathan Spergel, MD, PhD, Wanda Phipatanakul, MD, MS, and Jerry Ellen Schonfeld, CPNP, at an educational symposium as they investigate the role of type 2 inflammation in pediatric diseases. The speakers will also discuss the difficulties in diagnosis and burdens patients and their families face.

Drs. Bob Geng and Lawrence Eichenfield highlight a multidisciplinary team approach to patient-centered care in diseases with type 2 inflammation

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Brian Kim provides an overview of itch in type 2 inflammatory skin diseases and explains how the shared and unique mechanisms that drive inflammation and itch mediate each disease in distinct ways.
Type 2 inflammation contributes to many dermatologic diseases, which may lead to potentially life-changing burdens and challenges to patients and caregivers. By uncovering the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP, we can move forward in our understanding of each disease. Join global experts for an educational symposium on March 8th that will uncover the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP and explore questions driving current research in each disease.
