What Cytokines meeting(s) have been your favorites? Tell us about any special memories or anecdotes.There have been many great meetings for different reasons:Discoveries – such as witnessing the revealing of the JAK/STAT pathway from the Stark/Kerr and Darnell labs over several years and comparing their different approaches (and nomenclatures!);Locations – such as my one and only visit to Jerusalem and hosting the society twice in Australia – Cairns (ISICR) and my hometown of Melbourne (look out for Sydney in 2027);Several, isolated tales of adventure (“pleading the 5th”)But the standout for me was Hawaii 2022. It was the first face-to-face meeting post COVID lockdown era and Melbourne had one of the longest at 265 days!!! So, this was the first time we had seen our international family in >3years! The excitement was palpable. It brought home all the values of our Science and this Society.What is your favorite cytokine?Interferon epsilon (IFNε) [READ MORE]

My research investigates the function of innate immune receptors in gastric cancer and gastric inflammation.Being on the ICIS council as a junior member for the past few years has been invaluable for my career. It’s provided insight into how international societies work, how conferences are organised and given me experience in activities outside of pure research.After COVID travel restrictions, it’s been great to meet collaborators face to face, some for the first time. The 2023 meeting in Athens was great. There were great talks, good food and fun networking sessions! The music from Luke O’Neill’s band was a highlight. Please tell us your name, degree, where you currently work, and the position.My name is Ruby Dawson.
