Presented by The International Cytokine & Interferon Society

Symposium Co-Chairs: Dusan Bogunovic, – Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Kate Jeffrey, Moderna/Harvard University

The International Cytokine & Interferon Society (ICIS) Member Society Symposium at FOCIS 2022 will feature the newest research devoted to human cytokine deficiencies and cytokanopathies alike, both of which impact human health, provide insight into fundamental biological principles, and offer targets for therapy of rare and common diseases.
