From Theory to Therapy

The idea for the International Immune-Mediated Diseases: From Theory to Therapy (IMD) Congress was born in 2003 as a result of our discussions about the uneven development of immunological ideas and rate of progress in immunology research in different countries during the last century. Consequently, the First International meeting was held in Moscow, Russia, in October 2005 with the goal to bring the best world 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.
