Collaborations
IES is honored to partner with the following societies:
European Mast Cell and Basophil Research Network
(EMBRN)
The European Mast Cell and Basophil Research Network (EMBRN) currently has more than 300 members, in and outside of Europe, many of whom are leaders in experimental mast cell and basophil research.
During the 8 years of existence, EMBRN has emerged as the leading global network on mast cell and basophil biology and mast cell and basophil-driven diseases. The research conducted by EMBRN members has lead to a better understanding of the physiological and pathological functions of mast cells and basophils and to better treatment options for patients with mast cell and basophil-driven diseases.

Federation of African Immunological Societies
(FAIS)
The Federation of African Immunological Societies (FAIS) bridges immunology societies from African countries. The mission of FAIS is to promote research, clinical and animal care, and advocacy efforts that impact immune system-related morbidity and mortality.
