Abstract
The journey of early-career researchers (ECRs) in immunology is marked by many challenges but also exciting prospects. Here we bring a snapshot of the recent ECR workshop organized by the Young European Federation of Immunology Societies (yEFIS) during the 7th European Congress of Immunology (ECI), which took place in Dublin Ireland from September 1 to 4, 2024. This article brings forward the unique experiences and perspectives of eight Principal Investigators (PIs) and the events that shaped their careers in immunology. Navigating challenges, from mastering intricate laboratory techniques, securing tenure, or moving countries, to finding the right balance between family and research life; their stories reveal the diverse paths to independence within academia. This series celebrates scientific accomplishments acknowledging the non-linearity of career paths and the value of passion for discovery, self-confidence, resilience, and perseverance in their academic journeys.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Immunology (EJI) is an official journal of EFIS. Established in 1971, EJI continues to serve the needs of the global immunology community covering basic, translational and clinical research, ranging from adaptive and innate immunity through to vaccines and immunotherapy, cancer, autoimmunity, allergy and more. Mechanistic insights and thought-provoking immunological findings are of interest, as are studies using the latest omics technologies. We offer fast track review for competitive situations, including recently scooped papers, format free submission, transparent and fair peer review and more as detailed in our policies.
