Interaction Between Environmental Factors and Immune System in Immune-mediated Diseases

JSCI is a society composed of clinical immunologists from various fields such as rheumatology, gastroenterology, dermatology, pediatrics, and more. In JSCI, high-quality research in the field of clinical immunology is being advanced through the exchange of researchers from different disease areas. In this symposium, we focus on the pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases that are explicitly or potentially influenced by environmental factors. By attending this symposium, participants will have the opportunity to receive the latest updates on our understanding of the cross-disease effects of environmental factors.
