The i3S Association merges three institutes and researchers from several schools of the University of Porto (UPorto), thus consolidating an extensive collaboration between all institutions spanning many years.

Despite the existence of an established critical mass studying Infection and Immunity at i3S, our research profile and visibility are modest at an international level. Furthermore, research in key areas of importance to the institute, such as Immune Development, Inflammation, Immunological Memory, Tumor Immunology, Immune Pathogenesis, is lacking. ImmunoHUB will be central to allow i3S to recruit a prominent scientist and team working in these topics and, therefore, close these gaps. By assembling an exceptional core team, ImmunoHUB aspires to develop an international platform of excellence and innovation in the field of Immunology in Porto.
