Immune-Mediated Diseases

The goal of the International Immune-Mediated Diseases: From Theory to Therapy (IMD) Congress is to bring the world?s best immunologists and clinicians to Moscow to participate in plenary sessions, symposia and educational workshops designed to expose basic and clinical immunologists - as well as practicing clinicians - to the newest developments in the field.

The first IMD Congress consisted of eight Plenary Sessions, 40 Symposia and 25 Workshops. The meeting attracted almost 2000 participants and speakers from 15 countries. After the great success of the First IMD Congress, the Organizing Committee decided to convene the meeting every other year and the Second International IMD Congress was held in September 2007. Special attention was given to innovative therapeutic modalities, allergy and asthma, immunodeficiency, tumor and transplant immunology, immunotherapy and vaccines, HIV and infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, immunomonitoring and immunodiagnostics.

This volume includes contributions from the speakers of the Second IMD Congress (September 10-15, 2007., Moscow, Russia) who were eager to share some of the academic and clinical enthusiasm that defines the IMD meetings.
