Within the science portion of the website, visitors will find a partial list of institutes around the globe with a focus on human immunology, as well as links to webinars, lectures, and other scientific talks on the topic. While the events section of the website is very outdated, the tools portion of the site includes useful information such as links to other online immunology resources.
