Michelson Philanthropies & Science Prize for Immunology

The Michelson Philanthropies & Science Prize for Immunology will be awarded annually as one $30,000 grand prize, and two $10,000 runner-up awards. The prize focuses on transformative research in human immunology, with trans disease applications to accelerate vaccine and immunotherapeutic discovery.

Through a partnership with AAAS/Science, Michelson Philanthropies supports young investigators from a wide range of disciplines who apply their expertise to perform research that has a lasting impact on vaccine and immunotherapy. Disciplines may include, but are not limited to, computer science, artificial intelligence/machine learning, protein engineering, nanotechnology, genomics, parasitology and tropical medicine, neurodegenerative diseases, and gene editing.
