The International Cytokine & Interferon Society (ICIS) is proud to honor outstanding contributions to the field of cytokine and interferon research through its comprehensive awards program. Designed to recognize excellence at every stage of a scientist’s career, the ICIS awards underscore the Society’s commitment to fostering innovation, mentorship, and impactful [READ MORE]
My main research interest is to decipher how signals such those of the microbiota and metabolism regulate inflammatory diseases and infections of the respiratory tract. I am about to launch my independent scientific career and I am very grateful for the support of the ICIS through the Sydney and Joan [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.

Yanick J. Crow has been selected as the 2024 ICIS-Pfizer Award for Excellence in Interferon and Cytokine Research in recognition for his groundbreaking research on Type I Interferonopathies which has revolutionized the fields of basic and clinical immunology with phenomenal clinical and biological implications. Professor Crow is recognized as one of the top three scientists in the field of human inborn errors of immunity and the founder of the rapidly growing and revolutionary field of “Type I interferonopathies,” making him a most deserving recipient for the ICIS-Pfizer Award for Excellence in Cytokine & Interferon Research.

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.

Laura Mackay has been selected as the 2024 ICIS-Luminex John R. Kettman Award for Excellence in Cytokine & Interferon Research in recognition for her outstanding work on memory T cell populations and the cytokines that control them. Professor Mackay’s discoveries have resulted in dramatic paradigm shifts and have contributed enormously to the T cell field, spawning a new focus on tissue immunity. Her accomplishments are shaping and redefining how we understand cellular immune responses and have driven a new field of T cell immunology. These accomplishments indeed far exceed her designated “mid-career” stage. [READ MORE]
