Abstract
Gender inequities persist in science, with women encountering significant barriers at various career stages, particularly in fields such as Immunology. This article highlights the work of Immunologists for Gender Equity (IgEquity), a trainee-led organization within the ImmunoX Program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), which is committed to addressing these disparities. Through initiatives focused on community building, mentorship, outreach and advocacy, IgEquity seeks to advance gender equity in academia. We emphasize the critical role that trainee-led organizations can play in driving change and underscore the importance of institutional support in creating lasting, systemic progress toward gender equity in the scientific community.
期刊介绍：
The Australasian Society for Immunology Incorporated (ASI) was created by the amalgamation in 1991 of the Australian Society for Immunology, formed in 1970, and the New Zealand Society for Immunology, formed in 1975. The aim of the Society is to encourage and support the discipline of immunology in the Australasian region. It is a broadly based Society, embracing clinical and experimental, cellular and molecular immunology in humans and animals. The Society provides a network for the exchange of information and for collaboration within Australia, New Zealand and overseas. ASI members have been prominent in advancing biological and medical research worldwide. We seek to encourage the study of immunology in Australia and New Zealand and are active in introducing young scientists to the discipline.
