ISDCI International Society of Developmental and Comparative Immunology

Founded in 1976, a mission of ISDCI is to bring together research workers worldwide by fostering and maintaining international scientific cooperation and communication among scientists, regional groups and national societies interested in investigations of developmental and comparative immunology. These objectives are advanced through international congresses that are held every three years, smaller national and local meetings and workshops, and by means of a periodical Newsletter.
