Organization:International Cytokine & Interferon Society
The International Cytokine & Interferon Society (ICIS) is a non-profit organization composed of researchers of cytokines, interferons and chemokine cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and the use of biological response modifiers clinically.[1] As the premier organization in the field of cytokine biology, it has more than 950 member scientists. Katherine A. Fitzgerald is the current president of the society.[1]
History
Originally founded in 1988 as "The International Cytokine Society" (ICS), after having co-hosted annual meetings with the International Society for Interferon and Cytokine Research (ISICR), the two organizations merged to become the ICIS in 2013.[1]
Journal
The ICIS manages Cytokine, a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of cytokine biology. The journal was established in 1989 and is now published by Elsevier.[2]
Milstein award
Each year the society selects a recipient of the Seymour & Vivian Milstein Award for excellence in interferon and cytokine research.[3][4][5]
