CIS is a professional organization of clinical and pre-clinical investigators whose common interest lies in understanding the pathogenesis, perfecting the diagnosis, and enhancing the treatment of human diseases related to the immune system. The mission of CIS is to educate physicians and non-physicians alike in the common immunological themes of numerous diseases. The interests of the CIS membership are represented by four major themes: immunoregulation, immunogenetics, immunodiagnostics, and immunotherapy. A primary goal of CIS is the education of its own members, and those of partner societies, in current discoveries in basic and clinical science that will lead to world-wide advances in the diagnosis and management of diseases involving the immune system. Members: Founded in 1986, CIS has a total of 880 members. These include trainees, clinical members, and regular members comprised of medical doctors and researchers.
