Purpose

Neuroimmunology is a rapidly expanding field with tremendous and daily advances in fundamental and clinical research, both able to significantly impact patient care and clinical practise. Since 1982, ISNI has been the premier society of Neuroimmunology. Our aim is to be the benchmark in the field and our members are Key Opinion Leaders in all fields of neuroimmunology. The sponsorship of White Papers on topics of interest will cement ISNI’s leadership.
