Harvard Update on Severe Asthma 2026 — biologics, remission and the difficult-to-control patient
The Harvard Update on Severe Asthma 2026 is Brigham and Women’s two-day course on asthma that won’t settle, recorded 16–17 March 2026 and supplied as videos with PDFs. Elliot Israel leads a faculty that includes Tanya Laidlaw, Benjamin Raby, James Chalmers and Ian Pavord through phenotypes and diagnostics, AERD, occupational and paediatric asthma, bronchiectasis overlap, choosing among biologics, clinical remission and the comorbidities that keep patients uncontrolled.

What you’ll be able to do
- Confirm the diagnosis and phenotype severe asthma accurately
- Choose and switch between biologics — and understand bi- and tri-specific antibodies
- Aim for clinical remission rather than symptom control
- Manage AERD, eosinophilic lung disease and bronchiectasis overlap
- Address obesity, smoking, anxiety and depression as drivers of poor control

Key recent papers, airway biology, diagnostic assessment, AERD, primary prevention, occupational exposures, genetics and environment, severe asthma in children, bronchiectasis and the PreCISE precision-medicine trial, ending with diagnostic cases.
Day two: treatment
Eosinophilic inflammation, next-generation antibodies, choosing a biologic, remission, psychiatric comorbidity, eosinophilic lung disease, paediatric care, obesity and diabetes, smoking and COPD, anti-inflammatory rescue and population health, ending with treatment cases.
