Call for applications: Michelson Prizes Next Generation Grants | Deadline: 11 June 2023
Michelson Prizes Next Generation Grants are annual
awards of $150,000, which support early-career investigators (35 years and
under) who are working to significantly advance human immunology and vaccine
and immunotherapy research for major global diseases. The research to be
covered by the grant should aim at tackling the current roadblocks that exist
in human vaccine development and expanding our limited understanding of key
immune processes that are fundamental to successful vaccine and immunotherapy
development. The Prizes are awarded by the Michelson Medical Research
Foundation and the Human Immunome Project (formerly the Human Vaccines
Project). Applications are being accepted with a deadline of 11 June 2023.

The Stop
TB Partnership Working Group on New TB Vaccines (WGNV) and the National
Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)are
co-hosting a workshop on the topic of Recognition and Control of Mtb
Infected Cells: From Basics to the Clinic. This workshop is intended to address
the need for correlates and to identify platforms that measure recognition or
control of the infected cell - especially in humans - as identified in the EDCTP/AIGHD Global Roadmap for
Research and Development of New TB Vaccines and the Strategic Framework for
New TB Vaccines in the Stop TB Partnership Global Plan to End TB 2023 - 2030.
The overall goals of this workshop
are to:
- elucidate the mechanisms by
which the immune system recognizes the Mtb-infected cell
- explore the degree to which
such recognition can lead to control of the intracellular microbe, and
- discuss the translational
implications of these observations
The workshop format will be largely
discussion-based. Each session will have three short presentations that will
provide a high-level overview of key topics within the session theme, followed
by a discussion between the session chairs, speakers, and participants.

countries through multidisciplinary clinical and laboratory training at a
select biomedical institution in Zurich, Switzerland. The one-year SSI/ISID
Fellowship programme is open to applicants who are 40 years or younger,
citizens and permanent residents of under-resourced countries or Eastern
