This first educational module focuses on the T2 complex endotype and aims to define and understand the pathogenesis of T2 immune-inflammatory response, its biomarkers and visible properties, adapted to specialized care (specialists in allergy and clinical immunology, pneumology, ENT, dermatology, paediatrics).

Join the first module where 7 top level experts deliver outstanding lectures on different aspects of T2 Diseases including clinical case studies, instrumental to better understand the disease and implement their teachings within your clinical practice.

We invite you to explore the module and its informative and exciting talks - more features and interactivities can be added on to it after your initial purchase!

A sneak peek into the module:  

Physiopathology of T2 immune response, Cezmi Akdis, SIAF: In depth description of the allergen-specific and general type 2 immune response with tissue and blood eosinophilia, excessive and bad mucus production, tissue remodeling, barrier disfunction, microbial dysbiosis, the role of key cytokines. Practical examples on how to measure barrier dysfunction.

T2 biomarkers, Manali Mukherjee, McMaster University: An exhaustive description of diagnostic, monitoring, response, predictive and prognostic biomarkers for the T2 immune response, with indications when and how to use in clinical practice. An illustrative case report on the value of T2 biomarkers for a non-response to biological intervention in severe asthma.

T2 Phenotypes in the lung, Jonathan Corren, UCLA:  An overview of T2 asthma, from pathogenesis and biomarkers to clinical characteristics and co-morbidities. Patient cases to understand how to personalize treatment of T2 asthma in the clinic.

T2 clinical phenotypes in the skin, Emma Guttman - Yassky, Mount Sinai:  Atopic dermatitis pathogenesis with a focus on the use of biomarkers to separate clinical phenotypes as a basis for the personalized approach. Clinical cases to understand clinical phenotyping in atopic dermatitis.

T2 clinical phenotypes in the GI Tract, Kari Nadeau, Stanford University: A walkthrough of the two major types of gastro-intestinal inflammatory diseases, IgE and non-IgE, with a special focus on eosinophilic esophagitis, gastritis and colitis. Case reports to differentiate the atopic and non-atopic phenotypes of eosinophilic esophagitis.

T2 in chronic rhinosinusitis, Whitney Stevens, Northwestern University:  Description of the two types of chronic rhinosinusitis, with and without nasal polyps, linking pathogenesis to biomarkers guiding treatment decisions. Case studies to illustrate inflammatory heterogeneity in CRS impact on clinical phenotypes and disease severity.

T2 clinical endotypes – pediatric aspects, James Gern, University of Wisconsin: The role of T2 inflammation in the transition from recurrent wheezing to childhood asthma, asthma exacerbations and treatment response. Case studies foster an understanding of personalized decisions in pediatric asthma.

How it works

1. Purchase one or more packages on the T2 disease aspects that interest you most via https://my.eaaci.org/elearning or https://education.eaaci.org/courses. *Please note that in order to access these platforms you need to have an EAACI account. You can always open your account free of charge. (Available now)

2. You will later have the chance to add- on an exclusive, upcoming Live Q&A session with the key opinion leaders – offering the chance to ask your questions and cover the aspects which you would personally like to follow up on in more detail. The live Q&A will then be recorded, for you to watch at any convenient time. You will be able to e-mail the speaker with any further questions in written form. (Coming in April)

3. You will also be able to add-on and unlock CME accreditation for the module at a later stage, by undertaking a short multiple-choice assessment on what you have learnt.  (Coming in June)
