ICIS is my favorite Society I am involved in, and I am very honored to have received the Amanda Proudfoot Tribute Award for Advances in Chemokine Biology during Cytokines 2023 Conference. This award provides valuable support for my job hunting and encourages me to continue working on cytokines in the [READ MORE]
Susan Kaech is the 2024 ICIS Mentorship Award Winner in recognition not only of her cutting-edge research and seminal discoveries and scientific accomplishment, but for her ardent sponsorship and relentless championship of the junior faculty she has helped in the establishment and success of their own independent research programs. She is known as a “forever-mentor” who cares more about her trainees (and often those completely unrelated to her lab) than she does about her own career, strongly supporting people in her lab long after they have left the lab.

The honor recognizes her pioneering research into post-acute infection syndromes like LongCOVID. [READ MORE]
Dr. Georg Schett, a world renown rheumatologist at the University Hospital Erlangen in Germany who chaired Cytokines 20219 in Vienna, has been named to Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in Health for 2024 for his work using CAR T therapy to treat Autoimmune Diseases. Dr. Schett saw the potential of new immune-based therapy CAR T which dramatically improved outcomes for patients with certain blood cancers that involve B cells, like leukemia and lymphoma, as a promising treatment for autoimmune diseases like lupus, in which immune B cells attack the body’s own cells. He performed the first CAR T treatments on five patients with the disease in 2022. Eight months after receiving the therapy, all five were in remission and no longer needed powerful immunosuppressive drugs to control their disease. Last year, Schett published a second groundbreaking study showing that another small group of patients receiving the therapy were still in remission more than two years later without immunosuppressive drugs.

AAI 2024 Distinguished Lecturer Christopher A. Hunter: From parasites to mRNA vaccines: cytokine networks that dictate T cell tempo IL27 centric, great data with classic immunology experiments leading to promising new therapies.
International Cytokine & Interferon Society (ICIS) Symposium at AAI 2024 in Chicago:
Cytokines Regulating Neuroimmunometabolism
Session Chairs: Lydia Lynch, Princeton University and Ai Ing Lim, Princeton University
Description: The role of cytokines in non-classical immune-related physiology, focusing on how cytokines regulate neuroimmunology and metabolism, as well as the emerging field linking all 3 systems in ‚neuroimmunometabolism‘.
Speakers:
Lydia Lynch, Princeton University, USA, “Evolution of a cytokine neuroimmunometabolism pathway”
Ai Ing Lim, Princeton University, USA, “Cytokines regulating neuroimmunometabolism in maternal-offspring development”
Ruadhri Jackson, Harvard Medical School, USA, “An enteric neuroImmune circuit drives colorectal cancer”
Rami Bechara, University of Paris-Saclay, INSERM, France, “IL-17 as a regulator of metabolism in target cells”
Vishva Deep Dixit , Yale University, USA, “Adipose macrophages and regulation of neuroimmunometabolism”
