IMMUNOLOGY SOCIETY OF SLOVENIA
We are immunology enthusiasts working professionally to study immune systems and treat diseases caused by changes in the immune response. The Society includes basic and clinical immunologists and allergologists and is part of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS) and also the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS).
