The Society
"The International Eosinophil Society is
an organization of scientists and clinicians interested in the eosinophil, a
blood cell strongly associated with many diseases. The society sponsors
biennial meetings to review new information about the eosinophil and its
roles in health and disease. "
The International Eosinophil Society (IES)
has been established to bring together scientists around the world who are
engaged in research in the field of
Eosinophil Biology
and
Eosinophil Disorders with a
view to facilitating exchange of ideas and information about this
fascinating inflammatory cell type and its role in diseases.
Eosinophil Biology
Discussions will cover all aspects of eosinophil biology, ranging from
mechanisms regulating their development and differentiation to their
function and activation both in vitro and in vivo. They will focus on both
cellular responses as well as the function of eosinophil products and
include their regulation by pharmacological agents.
Eosinophil Disorders
The IES provides a framework for discussing research regarding eosinophil
disorders. In order to facilitate the optimal exchange of ideas regarding
rare eosinophil diseases, the biannual IES meetings are now partnered with
the meeting of the American Partnership for Eosinophilic disorders (APFED).
