British Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics

The British Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (BSHI) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the study of the immune system, particularly how the body recognizes itself and others. It focuses on research and testing related to tissues and organs, especially for transplantation. The society supports scientists and clinicians working to improve compatibility matching, reduce rejection, and improve patient outcomes. By fostering collaboration, education, and innovation, BSHI contributes to better understanding and application of immunogenetics in medicine, ultimately helping save lives through successful organ and tissue transplants.
