Myth Busting the Immune System

Unpack the science behind claims that we can “supercharge” our immunity.

Can orange juice really ward off the common cold? How does aging affect our immune system? Is our mental health truly linked to inflammation?

We are often bombarded by bold claims and quick fixes to “supercharge” our immunity, so how can we learn what will really help?

Join world leading immunologist Professor Daniel Davis as he unpacks the science behind these claims, including sharing the latest findings from his lab at Imperial College London. Author of several books, including Immune Health: A Myth-busting Guide and The Beautiful Cure: The New Science of Immune Health, Davis will leave you with a better understanding of your own immunity.

This event is part of the Great Exhibition Road Festival on 6-7 June 2026.

Please arrive at the venue 10 minutes before the start time. Your ticket gives you priority access, however, as this is a free event we overbook to help ensure a full event and your space may be reallocated. Early arrival reduces this risk.
