A scientific company and community...

occursus Latin, meaning: "a meeting".

Occursys happily announces the launch of this web site! Occursys.com was launched today as a free extension to the International Society for Interferon and Cytokine Research and the International Cytokine Society. Thanks to everyone partaking in the upcoming Cytokines2008 meeting in Montreal Canada.

So this site is just a baby, there isn't much to it, but you... can change that.

Waste no time, create a new account and start blogging, post your abstracts, create polls and ask questions about new findings in your profession or course of study. ...literally build it!

Only with your individual contributions can a site like this exist and flourish. With your help Occursys has the potential to become an invaluable tool, providing only positive influences to you and your important research.

Of course contributing may seem a little tricky at first, you might have to play around a little, it's similar to learning other web app's like Facebook or Myspace, but we might say a bit cleaner.

In summary we've created this for you, whether it becomes a successful medium full of incredibly useful information for all to share, that's up to you!

Thanks,
- The Occursys Team
