Plot twist! 🎬
ICIS might become "The Cytokine Society" - members get to vote on the rebrand after Cytokines 2025. Historic moment in the making!
What do you think of the name change?

Meet ICIS member Dr. Achille Broggi, team leader at CIML in Marseille, whose groundbreaking research on IFN-λ is reshaping our understanding of intestinal immune responses.
Kitchen = lab? 🍳🧪
Dr. Achille Broggi thinks so! This IFN-λ expert from Marseille has some wild insights about cooking and cytokine research. His gut immunity work is pretty amazing too.
