Together these two women are HIP and AWSOM.
I have nothing but awe for Alice Walton, patron of the arts, philanthropist extraordinaire, and the visionary behind whole person care at the new Alice Walton School of Medicine (AWSOM). Seen here with another pioneer in people-centered health, and Human Immunome Project (HIP) board member @lineaavey. @ImmunomePro @ALWMedSchool
New in Cell: "Fifteen Challenges for Generative AI Applications to Cell Biology," co-authored by our Co-Chief Science Officer @TsangLab. AI cracked protein folding. See what's next at the intersection of biology & AI:

There's been no consensus on how to measure immune aging. A new Nature Medicine Perspective from HIP Co-CSOs @shenorr & @TsangLab & colleagues proposes a framework to establish the biomarkers, based on @#XPRIZEHealthspan data.

The Banbury Center @CSHL helped give rise to the Human Genome Project. Here, HIP Co-CSO @TsangLab reflects on what it meant to convene our inaugural global scientific network in that space, and why this moment feels significant.

When the tools finally matched the ambition, explorers stopped hugging coastlines and sailed into open water.
Deciphering the human immunome is that moment for medicine — and a thousand ships are waiting to set sail.

We know just part of immunology — because we study just part of humanity. The majority of the world's people are barely represented in the science.
Prof. Maria Yazdanbakhsh of @LUMC_Leiden & @HypoVax on why it's so important to complete the picture.

The immune system is too complex for any one Institute to crack alone. Resources are finite, and so are human lifespans!
Prof. Lam Kong Peng of @astar_SIgN on why global collaboration isn't just helpful — it's necessary.

You cannot tailor medicine to the world's diverse populations if you have only ever studied a fraction of it.
Prof. Moustapha Mbow of @UCAD_Senegal on immune diversity, equity, and what a truly global immunology looks like.

On International Day of Immunology, we shared our latest Banbury episode:
Eva Harris @HarrisProgram speaks on how technology often outstrips societal values and why open science built on equity, capacity building, and shared benefit matters.

Next in our Banbury series: Immunology has a data gap problem.
WEHI Director Ken Smith on why the Human Immunome Project is a chance to change that, including for communities in Papua New Guinea.

Your immune system is a fingerprint.
Genetics. Environment. Infections. Life experience. All of it leaves a mark — and it's different for every person.
Dr. Anna Aschenbrenner @AschenbrennerAC of @DZNE_Bonn explains in our latest Banbury clip:

Stanford's Human Immune Monitoring Center — founded by Mark Davis in 2007 — has spent 17 years building the tools & data for systems immunology.
And yet, says HIMC Director Holden Maecker: decoding the immunome is beyond any one lab.

@stanfordimmuno
The immune system varies within populations, across populations, & across the globe. But most of the data we've built immunology on comes from the same narrow slice of humans.
Here, Dr. Quirijn de Mast makes the case for what's missing:

In our second Banbury interview, @Radboudumc's Dr. Quirijn de Mast covers how knowledge of human immunity is derived from a small fraction of humanity. Creating a global data set isn't just an equity issue — it's a scientific necessity.
🎥youtu.be/wSwwNERW5bQ?si=PVdw…
Decoding the immunome isn't a single-lab problem. It's a moonshot.
HIP Scientific Partner Ho Namkoong of Keio University speaks on why "big science" is the only framework equal to the challenge of mapping human immune diversity at global scale.

Future goal: having an AI-powered medical sherpa who analyzes our ever-fluctuating immune systems in context with environment, sleep, diet, exercise, mental state, community. Let's go #HIP!
@lineaavey knows something about audacious scientific projects. As co-founder of 23andMe, she helped bring genomics to millions of people & transformed health.
Now, as a HIP board member, she's championing an even bolder vision:

Now is the time to decode the human immune system!
Check out our @wef Davos presentation on why—and what we're doing about it:

Davos is abuzz with arrivals, and we're excited to present 2 sessions at Frontiers Science House this week. Please join us:
Don't miss this vital Big Science dialogue in Davos tomorrow!
Hear from Frederick Fenter (@ffenter), Chief Executive Editor, Frontiers; Jane Metcalfe (@janemetcalfe), Executive Chair, Human Immunome Project (@ImmunomePro); Peter Roos, CEO, Novatron Fusion; Zia Mehrabi, Assistant Professor, University of Colorado Boulder (@CUBoulder).
