Sociedade Portuguesa de Imunologia (SPI) is an active Immunology Society founded in 1973 by a small group of immunologists who felt the need to create a forum, dedicated to education, interaction and state of the art discussion in basic and clinical immunology. SPI members work in research institutes, universities and in clinical care encompassing the fields of tolerance, cancer immunology, allergy, vaccination, transplantation and infections. Basic investigation with clinical models often parallels clinical research in the fields of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis and autoimmunity, the latter focusing on multiple sclerosis, diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. The Society is committed to working in partnership. We are affiliated to EFIS (European Federation of Immunological Societies) and the IUIS (International Union of Immunological Societies) and work in conjunction with several Medical Portuguese Societies.
