Abstract Submission is now closed. Notification to Late Breaking Abstract Submissions going out soon.

Join over 1,000 international researchers in discussions regarding breakthroughs and insights into how cytokines and interferons regulate immunity, inflammation, metabolism, infection and cancer. Delegates who would like to present their work as an  iPoster presentation (which includes an embedded Lightning Talk), AND an in-person Poster for those who will be in Hawaii, may submit a late breaking abstract until Friday 22 July 2022, 23:59 CEST.

Accepted abstracts will be available on the Cytokines 2022 and ILC4 Meeting websites, one month prior to the meeting and will be available in the Virtual Meeting Platform/Meeting app. The iPoster abstracts will receive a DOI number and be indexed by CrossRef. 

Virtual iPoster Presentation Days and Times: 
The iPoster Virtual Sessions will kick off the science in the week before participants start their meeting travel as follows:
  • Wednesday, 14 Sept, 2022, 14:00-15:30 HST (better suited for US and Asian Participants)
  • Thursday, 15 Sept, 2022, 8:00-9:30 HST (better suited for US and European participants)

In-Person Poster Presentations: 

In-person Poster Sessions will be using the traditional boards and each presenter will be assigned a poster in their session for the full 90 minutes. The in-person poster presenters will also be required to submit their poster through the iPoster platform so they are accessible to our virtual participants (which can either be a pdf upload or using the iPoster templates for more in-depth information). Our interactive iPoster platform will make it easy for authors to create presentations that bring their research to life – whether presented virtually online or live onsite in Hawaii, including:

  • Schedule video chat room discussions at multiple times and dates.
  • Unlimited text and multimedia content.
  • Upload high resolution images, high definition videos, and GIF’s.
  • Audio tools for adding oral presentations and other sound files.
  • Add simulations, visualizations, and sonifications.
  • Include links to external websites for viewing original source materials and other contextual content and other dynamic content.

Pfizer

ICIS-Pfizer Junior Investigator Award Winners for Most Promising Research Presentations at the Cytokines Annual Meeting

ICIS Student/Postdoc Member presenters at the Cytokines 2022 & ILC 2022 Joint Hybrid Meeting are also eligible for the ICIS-Pfizer Junior Investigator Awards. Up to four (4) trainees with the highest scoring abstracts as per the scientific review committee, will be awarded $1,250 each and will be invited to give an oral presentation or lightning talk at Cytokines 2022 Hybrid Joint ILC4 Meeting, recognized as an ICIS- Pfizer Junior Investigator Awards Presentation, in the most appropriate session based on topic. MORE DETAILS

Awards are merit or need based, they are not guaranteed, nor will more than one award be granted per individual. 

Abstracts will be accepted as Oral Presentations in specific Symposium Sessions, Podium Lightning Talks or Poster/iPosters (which include embedded Lightning Talks). The in-person poster sessions will be using traditional poster boards, but a few large touchscreens will be available for in-person viewing of the posters on the ipostersessions.com platform which makes it easy to create interactive poster presentations that attract, engage & inform. Authors can present as much content as they need. Visitors can explore the content as deeply as they wish. Display high-resolution images, videos & animations, voice-over narrations and lightning talks.
