A big thank you to all members who voted resulting in a turnout of over 16% of the BSI membership. Of the ten roles up for nomination this year, four were appointed uncontested. We would also like to pass on our thanks to all the other BSI members who stood for election. 

The British Society for Immunology is here to represent all immunologists working in science, healthcare, and industry. Our committees are vital in leading our work, making numerous decisions about how the Society is run, what activities we focus on, and what support we provide to members. We look forward to working with all our new committee members in the coming months to forward the Society’s mission to support our immunology community in driving scientific discovery and making a positive impact on health.
