ICIS is the premier organization promoting the field of cytokine biology across many different research disciplines, impacting all aspects of medicine, from cancer to autoimmune disease to neural development and function. Through the Annual Meeting, the www.cytokinesociety.org Website, its official journals and the work of its committees, the Society is the scientific family for over 1,100 scientists and physicians devoted to research in the fields of cytokine, interferon and chemokine cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry and the clinical use of these biological response modifiers. The Society serves as a network to facilitate research communication to ultimately translate discoveries to improve human health.

ICIS Members receive a $100 discount ($50 for student/postdoc members; $250 for Industry members) to register for the Annual Meetings which convenes the world’s experts on viruses & anti-viral responses, on the immune system and its functions in health & disease, leading to new treatments in autoimmune diseases, cancer, infectious diseases and inflammation. 

The role of and effect of cytokines in every aspect of human health will continue to be identified and characterized and the use of cytokines themselves or antibodies to cytokines will become even more important tools in the arsenal of clinicians. Thus, the importance of the ICIS as a focal point for cytokine research will only continue to grow.

Industry Member: ICIS provides membership for industry employees who are directly involved in research, education, and/or corporate leadership in the field of cytokine and interferon research, including small business owners and consultants. The goal is to strengthen the links between industry, academia and government scientists and to advance the therapeutic use of and targeting of cytokines, their commercialization and the success of biological response modifiers.

Student/Post Doc: Postdoctoral fellows, graduates or undergraduate students involved in cytokine and interferon research or closely related academic disciplines, shall be eligible to become Student Members. Applications for Student/Postdoc membership must include a letter from the training advisor verifying status as a Student or Postdoc.
