Cytokines 2013

The 2013 meeting of the International Cytokine Society and the International Society of Interferon and Cytokine Research will broadly cover cytokines in health and disease. The aim of the meeting is to be an outstanding state-of-the-art meeting in the field of cytokines, covering basic science as well as clinical research and applications to the therapy of human diseases.

The topics will include aspects of the biology, signal transduction mechanisms, gene regulation, and epigenetics related to cytokines and cytokine receptors in innate and adaptive immunity, host-pathogen interactions, inflammation, autoimmunity, tumor immunity, hematopoiesis, and stem cell biology. Sessions will include cutting edge basic science and clinical science presentations both in plenary symposia, concurrent symposia, and poster/workshop sessions.

The meeting will be exciting for academic basic scientists and clinical investigators as well as for a range of scientists in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to senior scientists and physicians, broad attendance by graduate students and post-doctoral fellows is anticipated. This blend of attendees will help assure a vibrant and exciting conference.
