Stefan Rose-John is recognized as the 2024 ICIS-BioLegend William E. Paul Award winner in recognition for his seminal contributions to the field of cytokine biology. With a primary focus on the IL-6 cytokine family, his fundamental research has pioneered several paradigm-shifting discoveries, which have steered understanding of IL-6 in physiology and pathophysiology. Moreover, these insights have informed refinements affecting how target IL-6 for therapy. By presenting this Award, which is generously sponsored by BioLegend, the ICIS recognizes Professor Rose-John as one of a rare breed of scientists who has excelled in discovery science, achieved success as an entrepreneur, and translated his basic scientific discoveries into treatments that directly ameliorate patients’ lives.Â
Professor Rose-John will give his ICIS-BioLegend Award Presentation at Cytokines 2024 Joint Meeting KAI 2024 in the Opening Session (13:00 – 14:40) on Sunday, October 20th at the COEX Conference Center in Seoul, Korea: “The Complex Biology of Interleukin-6: Therapeutic Concepts”.Â
