The International Day of Immunology is dedicated to increasing global awareness of the importance of immunology in the fight against infection, autoimmunity, and cancer. The IUIS and EFIS are working together to encourage national and international societies to promote the benefits of immunology research.

Your participation is key! Reserve April 29 as the day to discuss immunology with everyone you know!
