This is a list of the Presidents of the American Association of Immunologists.
Background on the Association
The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) is an international scientific society. It was founded on June 19, 1913, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by a group of physicians who were attending the annual meeting of the American Medical Association. The original 41 members of the society were all disciples of Almroth Wright, the founder and director of the Inoculation Department at St. Mary’s Hospital in London.[1] The first AAI annual meeting was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on June 22, 1914.[2] AAI is a founding member society of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB).
In addition to organizing an annual meeting, the Association also publishes The Journal of Immunology and the AAI Newsletter.[3][4]
