Join us in the historic city of Ghent, Belgium, from June 15–18, 2027, for the 20th International TNF Conference, a premier global meeting at the forefront of TNFSF/TNFSFR biology. This landmark edition will showcase cutting‑edge science spanning basic mechanisms of inflammation and cell death to disease pathways, therapeutic innovation, and clinical applications.

Celebrating 20 editions of scientific excellence, the conference will highlight the groundbreaking discoveries that led to world‑changing anti‑TNF therapies. Bringing together international leaders, industry innovators, and the next generation of researchers, the International TNF Conference continues its proud tradition of driving discovery and translating science into life‑changing treatments, to which Walter Fiers here in Ghent has contributed by molecular cloning and recombinant expression of TNF in Ghent in 1985.
