The inaugural conference, attended by eminent speakers, had turned out to be an excellent platform to explore novel research ideas and practical discussions. The high-level lectures and specific panel discussions have helped in reducing the gaps in scientific evidence in the field of inflammation. The society was conceptualized in 2015 with the main objective to facilitate the interaction between clinicians and basic scientists, thereby to accentuate the biomedical research for developing newer treatment, interventions and diagnostic modalities.
The conference started with the inauguration ceremony and launching of the Society’s official journal, Indian Journal of Inflammation Research. The president of the society Dr. Jyotirmay Biswas, Director of Uveitis & Ocular Pathology Department, Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai, briefed about the goals and vision of the society, and the need of collaborating with other medical societies to conduct training programs/meetings.
