Award Winning Research & Education

International Respiratory Infections Society

IRIS is a nonprofit organization comprised of healthcare clinicians, researchers and thought leaders from across the globe.

IRIS began as a group of infectious diseases and pulmonary specialists focused on sharing research interests in the field of respiratory infections. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic created a paradigm shift in perspective and IRIS leadership recognized the importance of expanding the scope of interests beyond respiratory infections.

Today, IRIS has a wider area of interest that includes promoting education, prevention, and collaboration in the fields of respiratory and other infectious diseases.
