To promote excellence in immunology within Northern Ireland, the Ulster Immunology Group would like to recognise and reward those who excel at Immunology during their undergraduate degree. Each year two UIG ‘Immunology Student of the Year Awards’ will be presented.A student from each University, University of Ulster and Queens University, will be selected based on their overall performance in Immunology. This year student prizes were kindly sponsored by Randox.

The 2009 UIG student prize will take place on the 26th June. Dr Heiko Herwald from Lund University, Sweden will be the guest lecturer.
