Organisations and companies that work with Immunopaedia to realise our objectives of developing and disseminating Immunology education and knowledge world-wide.
International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS)
The International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) is an umbrella organization for many of the regional and national societies of immunology throughout the world. The IUIS contributes to the staging of regular congresses, conferences and various educational activities in immunology.
The IUIS Education and Clinical Immunology Committees developed the concept of interactive regional workshops supported by preparatory online specific course modules to optimize contact teaching time. Immunological concepts, clinical findings as well as multiple illustrations are used to build dynamic courses. The adaptation and creation of online courses are managed and developed by Immunopaedia.
The IUIS has kindly sponsored Immunopaedia to support our endeavor to spread unique and specialised education to Immunology students and practitioners globally.
The Antibody Society
The Antibody Society is an international non-profit association representing individuals and organizations involved in antibody research and development. We are an authoritative source of information about antibody therapeutics development, which we disseminate via our website, presentations and publications. We organize conferences and webinars on antibody research and development and related topics, and encourage collaboration between companies, academia and government organizations in the antibody field. In addition, the Society serves as the parent organization for the Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire Community, which focuses on the generation, use, sharing and standardization of next-generation sequencing of antibodies and T cell receptors. As a business association, the Society can engage with government and international agencies such as the World Health Organization to discuss topics that are important to the antibody community, such as international naming conventions.
IUPHAR
The main objectives of International Union of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) are to foster international cooperation in pharmacology by:
- promoting cooperation between societies that represent pharmacology and related disciplines throughout the world;
- sponsoring international and regional congresses and meetings, and helping in their organization by establishing advisory committees;
- encouraging international coordination and free exchange of scientists and of ideas in research,
- adhering to the ICSU Statute 6 concerning non-discrimination without regard to race, religion, political philosophy, ethnic origin, citizenship, language or gender;
- acting as a body through which pharmacologists can participate with other branches of science in international activities, either directly or under the aegis of international scientific bodies such as ICSU, WHO and UNESCO;
- helping in all ways the development of pharmacology throughout the world;
- promoting programs of public awareness on pharmacological issues.
- the Guide to PHARMACOLOGY – a collaboration between the British Pharmacological Society (BPS) and IUPHAR with funding from the International Council for Science and the Wellcome Trust. The Guide to PHARMACOLOGY is a searchable database with quantitative information on drug targets and the prescription medicines and experimental drugs that act on them.
