FOCIS 2009 - FOCIS 2013: Understanding function and regulation of the immune system is critical for many diseases, including autoimmune diseases, cancer, allergy/asthma, infectious diseases, immune deficiency, and transplant rejection. To rapidly exploit scientific advances in this area, two major barriers need to be overcome: First, the translation of basic findings into clinically and medically relevant contexts, and second, the exchange of relevant findings in immunological sciences which unify these diverse diseases through multidisciplinary approaches which cut across traditional clinical boundaries. FOCIS, the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies, is the leading international organization which exists to meet these needs. Linking more than 20 major professional societies representing 40,000 professionals with this common vision is a service that will ensure progress towards the goal of improving human health through immunology. The FOCIS Annual Meeting provides a scientific forum that fosters a cross-disciplinary approach required to understand and treat immune-based diseases. The evolution of the immunology field is a reflection of the shared pathophysiology of many diseases, including: autoimmune diseases, cancer, allergy/asthma, infectious diseases, immune deficiency and transplant rejection. While clinicians necessarily remain linked to diseases associated with their own specialty, the immunological sciences underlying recent advances in diagnosing and treating these diverse diseases are multidisciplinary and cut across standard clinical boundaries. The ultimate goal of the FOCIS annual meeting is to create a better understanding of the shared pathophysiological underpinnings of clinical immunology and the new therapeutic approaches suggested by these novel relationships, including the increasingly widespread use of biologics in therapy. The FOCIS Annual Meeting offers investigators and clinicians an opportunity to understand and translate breakthroughs in basic science and clinical applications from a variety of different fields. In addition to highlighting the best science, the FOCIS Annual Meeting is an incubator for developing scientists and practitioners alike to meet with one another along with representatives of relevant biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry. Each day includes poster and oral abstract presentations to give young investigators the chance to have their work presented and critiqued. FOCIS takes a specific interest in the development of young investigators and provide travel awards to them to supplement their costs to attend the meeting. By sharing discoveries with one another, delegates acquire new ideas for research and applied science from disciplines to which they would otherwise not be exposed at disease- or organ-specific meetings. The FOCIS Annual Meeting is an ideal forum for new investigators to learn about the different translational approaches that are bridging the basic immunology laboratories within clinical practice. In addition to encouraging the participation of new investigators, FOCIS recognizes the importance of participation from a wide range of demographics. Every effort is made to include a diverse representation within the FOCIS Organizing Committee and the Annual Meeting's scientific program. The success of all eight of the previous FOCIS meetings attests to this effort. Support is now requested to support the 2009- 2013 FOCIS meetings, specifically the educational programs and travel fellowships, which will continue this valuable effort.

FOCIS 2009 - FOCIS 2013：了解免疫系统的功能和调节对于许多疾病至关重要，包括自身免疫性疾病、癌症、过敏/哮喘、传染病、免疫缺陷和移植排斥。为了快速利用这一领域的科学进步，需要克服两个主要障碍：首先，将基本发现转化为临床和医学相关背景；其次，交流免​​疫科学的相关发现，通过跨越传统临床界限的多学科方法统一这些不同的疾病。 FOCIS（临床免疫学会联合会）是满足这些需求的领先国际组织。将代表 40,000 名专业人士的 20 多个主要专业协会与这一共同愿景联系起来，这项服务将确保通过免疫学改善人类健康的目标取得进展。 FOCIS 年会提供了一个科学论坛，促进理解和治疗免疫疾病所需的跨学科方法。免疫学领域的发展反映了许多疾病的共同病理生理学，包括：自身免疫性疾病、癌症、过敏/哮喘、传染病、免疫缺陷和移植排斥。虽然临床医生必然与自己专业相关的疾病保持联系，但诊断和治疗这些不同疾病的最新进展背后的免疫科学是多学科的，跨越了标准的临床界限。 FOCIS 年会的最终目标是更好地理解临床免疫学的共同病理生理学基础以及这些新关系所建议的新治疗方法，包括生物制剂在治疗中日益广泛的使用。 FOCIS 年会为研究人员和临床医生提供了了解和转化各个不同领域的基础科学和临床应用突破的机会。除了突出最好的科学之外，FOCIS 年会还是一个培养科学家和从业者的孵化器，让他们与相关生物技术和制药行业的代表相互会面。每天都包括海报和口头摘要演示，让年轻的研究人员有机会展示和批评他们的工作。 FOCIS 特别关注年轻研究者的发展，并向他们提供旅行奖励，以补充他们参加会议的费用。通过相互分享发现，代表们可以从学科中获得研究和应用科学的新想法，否则他们不会在特定疾病或器官的会议上接触到这些学科。 FOCIS 年会是新研究者了解在临床实践中架起基础免疫学实验室桥梁的不同转化方法的理想论坛。除了鼓励新研究者的参与外，FOCIS 还认识到广泛人群参与的重要性。我们尽一切努力在 FOCIS 组委会和年会的科学计划中纳入多元化的代表。之前八次 FOCIS 会议的成功证明了这一努力。现在请求支持 2009-2013 年 FOCIS 会议，特别是教育计划和旅行奖学金，这将继续这一宝贵的努力。
