European Mucosal Immunology Group (EMIG)

The European Mucosal Immunology Group (EMIG) is a specialized organization that brings together scientists and healthcare professionals focused on the immune system's role at mucosal surfaces—like the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urogenital tracts. These areas are crucial as they are primary entry points for many pathogens. EMIG promotes research, collaboration, and knowledge sharing to better understand mucosal immunity, which can lead to improved vaccines, treatments, and prevention strategies for diseases affecting these vulnerable tissues across Europe.
