The International Cytokine & Interferon Society (ICIS) invites you to attend Cytokines 2026, a leading international meeting dedicated to cytokine biology and its impact across medicine.
Taking place in Glasgow, a city with a long-standing history of medical innovation, this event will bring together researchers and clinicians from across the globe. Glasgow is home to world-leading medical research facilities, including Europe’s largest hospital and advanced centres for cancer care and precision medicine.
The meeting will feature a comprehensive scientific programme, including plenary and parallel sessions led by experts in the field. Poster sessions will provide valuable opportunities for in-depth discussion and knowledge exchange. A central aim of the conference is to foster collaboration between scientists and clinicians working in basic, translational and applied research.
Delegates will have the opportunity to present new findings and engage with the latest developments in cytokine research, including biomarkers and therapeutic approaches, while expanding their professional networks.
