OUR MISSION

Black in Immuno is a platform created by a collective of Black immunologists and allies aimed at amplifying, celebrating and supporting Black people in immunology. Through our inaugural #BlackInImmunoWeek and longer-term platform we aim to:

Showcase and amplify the scientific contribution of Black immunologists.
Encourage connections among Black researchers and science professionals in immunology and related fields.
Create a supportive and inclusive community for Black scientists around the world.
Connect Black students and professionals with resources and job opportunities in immunology and related fields.

Our community is dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and/or disability.
