We are pleased to announce that the founder of RIRCA, Professor Clive Gray, has taken the position of the President of the Federation of African Immunological Societies (FAIS).
Professor Gray shared: “I had the great honour last week of becoming the President of FAIS at our first in-person meeting since 2017.”
The FAIS 2024 meeting which was co-organised by the Benin Immunology Society was held in Cotonou, Benin on December 10th to 13th, 2024, was a true “festival of immunology showcasing the strength of immunologists in Africa.”
President Gray’s vision for the next two years will be to “further strengthen One Health, veterinary immunity, the immunology of NCD and CD’s, and focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
FAIS focuses on uniting and empowering immunologists across Africa, by fostering collaboration, and elevating African immunology on the global stage.
We are proud of our leader Prof. Gray on this well-deserved appointment, we look forward to seeing new developments in immunology on the African continent.
