Education
To foster the education and mentorship of trainees working in immunology, we support the following training programs, grants and events. We also invite trainees to join the center as members to access all our resources.
Travel Grants
Doctoral and postdoctoral students have access to funding, through the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, to reduce the cost of travel and registration fees associated with attending meetings and presenting research.
