Mucosal Immunology and Microbiome Interest Group

cell

There is an increasing appreciation for the unique properties of immunity generated at mucosal sites. The goal of the MIMIG is to provide a forum for scientific discussion and sharing of reagents and models in the field of mucosal immunology. The scope is broad and includes immunology of the nasopharyngeal, gastrointestinal, respiratory, genitourinary, oral, and ocular mucosal tissues, as well as basic, clinical, and translational topics. The MIMIG organizes a symposium each year and hosts lab presentations or journal article reviews on the NIH campus on a monthly basis. Regular meetings are currently scheduled on the last Friday of the month, from 12-1 p.m. in the Vaccine Research Center (Building 40) room 1201. The group moderators are Brian Kelsall and Yasmine Belkaid.

The MIMIG listserv address is mimig@list.nih.gov. A subgroup of our interest group is the Microbiome Working Group, and its listserv address is microbiome@list.nih.gov.

Note that the MIMIG was formerly known as the MIIG, Mucosal Immunology Interest Group.
