About The Clinical Immunology Society
The Clinical Immunology Society (CIS), established in 1986, is the key inter-disciplinary organization for the field of clinical immunology and is devoted to fostering developments in the science and practice of clinical immunology. CIS is an international professional organization which includes more than 650 clinicians, investigators, and trainees.
The mission of CIS is to facilitate education, translational research and novel approaches to therapy in clinical immunology to promote excellence in the care of patients with immunologic/inflammatory disorders.
The primary objectives and purposes of CIS are to:
- facilitate the interchange of ideas and information among physicians and other investigators who are concerned with immunological/inflammatory diseases;
- promote research on the causes and mechanisms of diseases relating to the immune system and, as a result, to unify concepts of disease pathogenesis;
- encourage investigators and clinicians to share in their knowledge of immunologically active drugs and other interventions;
- promote application and dissemination of recent advances in biomedical science for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to immunity and inflammation; and
- foster excellence in research and medical practice.
