We promote excellence in research, scholarship and clinical practice in immunology in order to improve human and animal health.

What is immunology?

Immunology is the study of the immune system and a very important branch of the medical and biological sciences. We have a whole suite of resources that can help you learn more about immunology and your immune system, including our online learning platform "BiteSized Immunology".

Regional and Affinity Groups

All BSI members are encouraged to join and become active in the work of the many Regional and Affinity Groups supported by the BSI. These groups organise a number of activities with BSI support, including seminars and meetings as well as one-off larger events.
