British Society for Immunology (BSI).
The BSI is one of the oldest, largest, and most active, Immunology societies in the world and is the largest in Europe. Our members are based all over the world, with the majority working in Britain.
The BSI’s main objective is to promote and support excellence in research, scholarship and clinical practice in immunology for the benefit of human and animal health and welfare. The BSI seeks to help British Immunology accomplish the highest possible goals. To meet this objective, the BSI undertakes the following:
- Running innovative events in research, public engagement and education
- Promoting and disseminating research and good practice in Immunology, translational medicine and vaccination
- Working with its members to develop the benefits of membership and the relevance of the Society
- Providing bursaries and grants
