Abstract

Women scientists have made many contributions to the scientific arena regarding human health and diseases. They have made great efforts to reveal the secrets in the science of immunology, developing new experimental methods and showing effective treatment alternatives. While focusing on the mysteries of the defense systems of many living organisms in nature, women scientists have adopted the principle of pursuing their vital interests. Women scientists have made significant advances in genetics, molecular biology, microbiome, genomics, imaging, responses to infectious diseases, drug development, and identification of genetic disorders underlying primary and secondary immunodeficiencies (14). We are proud to have outstanding female immunologists who have made significant strides in autoimmunity, cancer immunology, vaccines, allergy, and the importance of epithelial barriers, cellular and systems biology, too many to count.
