The 2014 meeting of the International Cytokine and Interferon Society is to be held in Melbourne, Australia, during October 26-29, at the state-of-the-art Melbourne Convention Centre. The meeting will provide an outstanding forum for basic science and clinical researchers to present their latest data and exchange ideas relating to the broad role of cytokines and interferons in human disease, and applications to therapies.

The topics will include aspects of the biology, signal transduction and gene regulation related to cytokines, interferons and their receptors in innate and adaptive immunity, pattern recognition receptors and their role in host-pathogen interactions, infectious diseases, inflammation, cancer, autoimmunity and metabolism. Sessions will include cutting edge basic science and clinical presentations in plenary and concurrent symposia, as well as eminent keynote presentations, and are strongly supported by poster sessions.

In addition to academic basic scientists and clinical investigators, the meeting will provide strong networking opportunities for scientists in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. The broad attendance and blend of senior scientists and physicians, as well as graduate students and post-doctoral fellows will help assure a vibrant and exciting conference for all.
