The University of Alberta has a large number of excellent Immunologists affiliated with various departments across the University of Alberta campus. In 1996 the ImmuNet was formed as an affinity group to establish a focus and provide profile for Immunology research interests at the University of Alberta. Our primary goal is to coordinate and promote Immunology research and education.
The ImmuNet is interdepartmental and multidisciplinary. All Faculty, Postdoctoral Fellows, Graduate students and staff in the field of Immunology, irrespective of home department, are invited to participate in ImmuNet activities.
The ImmuNet seminar series currently runs mid-September to late May, every 2 weeks on Thursday from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in the Oborowsky Degner Seminar Hall (1-040 LKS, Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Innovation), unless otherwise notified. Seminar advertising is done 2 weeks beforehand with a reminder the day before the seminar. Please check the Seminars menu tab for more information. Fall 2026/Spring 2027 - September 17 to May 20. **There will be no seminar December 10 due to the SPP-ARC Retreat**
We also host a prestigious seminar called The Lorne Tyrrell Lectureship in Infection and Immunity. Information on this seminar is available under the Seminars tab.
