The work of the Human Immunome Project is spearheaded by our global network of staff and consultants and supported by members of our Board of Directors and advisory committees. Together with our partners and supporters, we are championing the mission of HIP and overseeing a global consortium to generate diverse immunological data at scale and build publicly available AI models of the human immune system.
