Immunology News membership magazine June 2023 cover
In the summer edition of Immunology News, we are proud to shine a light on exceptional immunologists transforming the sector. We look back at our inaugural BSI Immunology Awards, both at the inspiring event and ceremony, and at the winners whose work is delivering positive outcomes for health in a variety of ways. We are also pleased to introduce immunologists who will help us continue our mission – the incoming BSI committee members!

In this issue, you can learn more about our recent report calling for a focus on immunogenicity for better public health. Then you can delve into the world of patient and public involvement with our reflections on our recent work for National Core Studies Immunity, including our new training programme designed to introduce researchers into the area.

This issue also features our new group for immunology educators, the BSI Teaching Affinity Group, and our new network for clinical immunology, the BSI-CIPN.
