Women in Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy,
We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Immunology “Women in Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy” series of article collections.
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Frontiers in Immunology is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy.
The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
Manuscripts consisting solely of bioinformatics or computational analysis of public genomic or transcriptomic databases which are not accompanied by robust and relevant validation (clinical cohort or biological validation in vitro or in vivo) are out of scope for this topic.
Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
