Welcome to the New, Community Driven IEIIS Website

The function and impact of the IEIIS depends on the participation and engagement of its members – i.e., those who have been and/or are currently advancing endotoxin and innate immunity-related research.

• Post new publications from your lab and/or other publications that you think will be of interest to the IEIIS community
• Post upcoming meetings of interest and/or highlights of meeting just attended
• Post useful links

The reach of our society can be OUTREACH: encourage the membership and participation of your students and (younger) colleagues to help the IEIIS keep pace with the inroads of endotoxin- and innate immunity-related research into previously unchartered territories.

• Engage IEIIS members; attract new members
• Highlight accomplishments of young colleagues (see short synopsis of Brittany Needham, along with Rebecca Coll a Young Investigator Awardee at the XII biennial IEIIS meeting in Tokyo last October)
• Post career development opportunities and needs

The generations of scientists, many now Honorary Lifetime Members of the IEIIS, that helped build the IES/IEIIS provide a unique historical perspective that should further enrich the benefits of membership.

• Contribute seminal publications for IEIIS website archives
• Write historical commentaries to be posted on website and/or included within IEIIS Newsletter

Lastly use the website to build and strengthen our community: post any and all personal accomplishments (including awards, birth of (grand)children) as well as notes of best wishes or remembrance and condolence.

The website is now capable of supporting very dynamic interactions.  Let’s take advantage.  For now, please send any posts you desire to either:
