10th Edition of World Congress on Infectious Diseases | June 25-27, 2026 | Barcelona, Spain and Online

Dear Conference Attendees,

It is an honor and great pleasure to write a few welcome notes for the session entitled “Obesity and Diabetes”. We are living in the era of ever-escalating national crisis of obesity and its related comorbidities including type 2 diabetes in both adults and youth. A multi-disciplinary approach linking basic, clinical and public health research is desperately necessitated to advance our understanding of the growing pandemic of obesity and diabetes. In line with this, our session offers a variety of research topics including: (1) Diabetes and Endocrinology; (2) Genomics, Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity; (3) Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders; (4) Diabetic Nephropathy and Urine; (5) Diabetic Retinopathy; and (6) Clinical Researches in Diabetes. It will be a great opportunity for the WOC participants including young and senior researchers, scientists, clinicians and academicians to gain knowledge with the up-to-date research in obesity and diabetes.

Dear Participants, It is a privilege to welcome you to the 10^th World Congress on Infectious Diseases, June 25–27, 2026 being held in the beautiful city of Barcelona, Spain. Although there have been many advances in their diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology and prevention, infectious diseases continue to cause high levels of illness and fatalities in the world. They are capable of springing surprises with serious consequences, e.g. the COVID-19 pandemic of 2019. The many exciting in-person and online presentations on various aspects of infectious diseases that have been scheduled will make this an enjoyable and productive Congress.

Dear Infection-2026 Attendees,

It is our honor to invite you to participate in Infection-2026. Infectious diseases continue to pose profound challenges to human and animal health, as highlighted by recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Progress in this field depends on strong global collaboration and the sharing of new ideas. This conference will bring together scientists and clinicians to highlight recent discoveries and advances across the broad landscape of infectious disease research.

Dear colleagues and participants,

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Barcelona for this conference devoted to the growing intersection between climate change and antimicrobial resistance. We are gathered here as clinicians, scientists, and public health professionals who share a common responsibility to address one of the most significant challenges facing global health today. Antimicrobial resistance, particularly extensively drug-resistant (XDR) pathogens, continues to threaten the effectiveness of the therapies on which modern medicine depends. Increasingly, we recognize that this crisis does not exist in isolation. Climate change is reshaping ecosystems, influencing patterns of infection, and intensifying environmental pressures that contribute to the emergence and spread of resistant organisms. Responding to these interconnected threats requires broader collaboration across disciplines and sectors. The One Health perspective reminds us that human, animal, and environmental health are deeply linked. I hope this meeting encourages meaningful dialogue, strengthens partnerships, and helps advance strategies to preserve antibiotics for future generations.

Dear Conference Attendees,

It is an honor and great pleasure to write a few welcome notes for the 10th Edition of World Congress on Infectious Diseases. We are living in the era of great research and innovations regrading the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of infectious diseases. This congress aims to cover a wide array of topics under the unifying theme of “New Frontiers in Infectious Diseases: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Control,” including clinical aspects of infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, epidemiology of infectious diseases, pandemic preparedness, new treatments against infectious diseases, genomics, one health approach to infectious diseases, vaccines and prevention and control strategies of infectious diseases. The program is designed to cover all topics and facilitate comprehensive discussions, networking, and the sharing of new research insights among professionals. The congress sessions will provide a great opportunity for participants including young and senior researchers, scientists, clinicians and academicians to gain knowledge with the up-to-date research on infectious diseases.

Dear Conference Attendees,

It is an honor and great pleasure to write a few welcome notes for the 10th Edition of World Congress on Infectious Diseases.

We are in an era of incredible opportunities, thanks to the progress in OMICS-driven immune therapies and vaccination prevention, and in design-inspired technological medicine applied to infectious disease. In this context, this Event would stimulate an enhanced understanding how to overcome the obstacles to the creation of effective personalized therapeutics (including vaccines) to protect against pathogens, and would disclose clinically relevant biomarkers of protection, vaccine response heterogeneity, and our understanding of immunosenescence. In this context, the Conference promises to be an exceptional gathering of renowned experts, researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and industry leaders from around the world.

A multidisciplinary approach linking basic, clinical and personalized health research is crucial to advance our understanding of the growing pandemic of infectious diseases. In this context, the Program will feature plenary lectures from internationally renowned experts, in-depth symposia, interactive workshops and seminars, and state-of-the-art poster sessions, designed to highlight the latest breakthroughs in microbial pathogenesis, vaccine development, antimicrobial resistance, emerging infections, digital health innovations, and strategies to advance health equity worldwide.

This Event will provide a dynamic platform for the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and insights into the latest developments in the field of infectious diseases and preventive and prophylactic immunization, as well as to develop international networks in order to advance their research, teaching and clinical practice.

We look forward to welcoming you to Infection 2026, as we come together to explore the future of the trends and their impact on global health.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to invite distinguished speakers and researchers to the Infection 2026 on June 25-27, 2026 at Barcelona, Spain.

Sciences of infectious diseases field make unprecedented progress today since the pandemics of novel influenza 2009 and COVID-19. Furthermore, RS virus and other respiratory virus are also found to induce severe diseases not only in children, but also in elderly people.

Recently, we found new issues, including ‘subclade K’ in influenza as a ‘new kid on the block’, and pneumococcal vaccines have been developed to cover the wider serotypes as ‘number games’

This opens new opportunities to achieve higher treatment and prevention efficiency, and to introduce intelligent, differentiated methods to works against these infectious diseases. It is obvious that both basic and clinical research could go together, and these studies based of precise microbiological and clinical evidence will be the future basis for success.

Dear Conference Attendees,

It is an honor and great pleasure to write a few welcome notes for the World Congress on Infection Disease in 2026. We are living  in an era of rising severe infections, where infection-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a major cause of mortality worldwide. A multidisciplinary approach linking stem cell biology, immunology, and translational medicine is urgently needed to understand how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their exosomes (MSC-Exo) modulate inflammation and promote lung repair. Our session covers key topics: (1) Pathophysiology of infection-related ARDS; (2) Immunomodulation by stem cells in sepsis/pneumonia; (3) MSC-Exo as cell-free therapies; (4) Preclinical models of ARDS; (5) Clinical trials of stem cell interventions; and (6) Future translational challenges. This is a great opportunity for all WOC participants — intensivists, infectious disease specialists, stem cell biologists, and clinicians — to gain up?to?date knowledge on stem cell therapies for infection?induced ARDS.
