An organization built around scientific activity.

CISBM complements the universities its members belong to. It exists to give researchers, whether established professors or early-career scientists, a structured way to collaborate on focused scientific work alongside their home institutions.

Membership is free, and entirely non-commercial. Participation is judged on scientific merit and genuine research interest.

CISBM is the working name of Centre for Immunology, Genetics, and Systems Biology Limited, a private limited company registered in England and based in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

The work of CISBM happens through defined activities: scientific seminars and conferences, research meetings, and the Research Bootcamp, an intensive format in which researchers rapidly develop proposals, manuscripts, and computational analyses together.

Every activity is oriented toward a concrete scientific output: a manuscript draft, an analysis, a proposal, or a collaboration suitable for future funding. See our current activities and Research Bootcamp.

Our research interests center on immunology, genetics, and systems biology: the genetic and molecular basis of immune variation, computational modeling of biological systems, and the methods that connect molecular-scale data to clinical questions. Rigor and reproducibility guide the choice of every question we take on.

Participation is open across subfields. What unites our members is a shared commitment to research that is scientifically honest and methodologically sound.

The community of CISBM includes Advisory & Distinguished Members, established scientists who lead funding searches and structure the direction of our studies, and Emerging Researchers, early-career scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and students who train through structured programmes and carry out the research itself. Both are held to the same standard of scientific rigor, working within a supportive research environment.
