Invitation

We are pleased to invite you to the Tri-Society Annual Conference 2009 of the International Cytokine Society, International Society of Interferon and Cytokine Research and Society of Leukocyte Biology, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal from October 17-21, 2009. The theme for this meeting is Cellular and Cytokine Interactions in Health and Disease. We are excited about the prospect of hosting up to 1000 international and local registrants at this joint Conference.

An outstanding international program consisting of Plenary Sessions, Symposia, Invited Workshops, and Poster Sessions has been arranged to bring together leading investigators in cytokine biology, cancer, immunology, virology and infectious diseases in a forum that emphasizes the intersection of these expanding fields. The program emphasis is to integrate the major themes of the Conference, and to provide molecular insights into the development of novel therapies for human disease. Scientific themes range from new cytokines and new technologies, to the roles of cytokines in tumor immunology, cell cycle control, inflammation, host defense, and angiogenesis. The clinical impact of cytokines in cancer, and the use of cytokines as therapeutics will also be a major focus of the meeting. Fundamental research topics will include signal transduction, apoptosis, gene regulation, and cytokine structure-function. Scientists in academic institutions, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries will be represented as plenary speakers. Senior scientists, young investigators, physician-scientists, post-doctoral fellows, and students will all benefit from the perspectives that are brought together at this unique international conference.

We would like to invite you to participate in this year's meeting as an exhibitor. We hope that your company will be eager to share with our membership your products, research and personal experience. We look forward to hearing from you. See you in Lisbon!
