to promote research on the causes and mechanisms of diseases relating to the immune system and, as a result, to unify concepts of disease pathogenesis;
to encourage investigators and clinicians to share in their knowledge of immunologically active drugs and other interventions;
to promote application and dissemination of recent advances in biomedical science for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to immunity and inflammation; and
to foster excellence in research and medical practice.
Noel Rose"The Inception of Clinical Immunology" by Noel Rose
It can truly be said that the Clinical Immunology Society (CIS) was conceived at luncheon in the 9th floor cafeteria of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 1986. John L. Fahey of UCLA was visiting me and introduced a discussion of the uncertain future of clinical immunology in the United States.
