Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight the work of early-career researchers in the field of immunology, including postdoctoral fellows and recent PhD graduates. We welcome high-quality original research articles and reviews across all areas of immunology, especially those with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches.
Contributors who obtained their PhD within the past 10 years will also be eligible for consideration for the Biology 2025 Young Investigator Award. The award includes a CHF 1000 prize, a certificate, and a free publication voucher for Biology.
More details can be found here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/biology/awards/3158
We also encourage submissions from promising PhD students. Co-authored work with senior mentors is welcomed, and the involvement of mentors can further support the development of early-stage researchers.
We look forward to receiving your contributions!
