💡 Reflection from #EULAR2026: The biggest advances happen when we work together. Many of the most exciting ideas emerge at the interface between specialties, institutions and countries. Collaboration remains one of the most powerful drivers of progress in rheumatology 🌍🤝

🎤 Another enjoyable part of #EULAR2026 was hosting the EULAR Quiz and chairing a session on CAR T-cell therapy The pace of progress in this field continues to be remarkable, and it was exciting to hear discussions on how these therapies may shape future treatment 🚀

What stood out most this weekend was the shared ambition across the EULAR community to move beyond traditional teaching models and move towards more interactive, case-based, and translational learning that truly reflects modern practice 🏥

110

Chris Wincup @chriswincup.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

With the pace of innovation in this space from CAR T cell therapies to next-generation cell therapies there’s a real opportunity (and responsibility) to rethink how we teach these concepts in a clinically meaningful way in the midst of a rapidly evolving and exciting landscape 🔍
