The Azure Grant Program applications for this year are closed

Over the past decade, we have witnessed major advances in the fields of immunology and immune function leveraging state-of-the-art flow cytometry instrumentation and reagents. These advances in technologies have allowed us faster time to insights. Thus, enabling our understanding of disease pathogenesis and thereby development of better treatment modalities. However, many questions remain unaddressed as we try to solve the enigma of the immune system. To support our understanding of disease pathogenesis and the role of immune responses, BD is announcing the Azure 2022 Life Sciences Research Reagents Funding Initiative to fund research in areas of immuno-oncology, immune metabolism and neuroimmunology. This initiative is intended to support novel discoveries and observations that will help drive better treatment modalities and advancing the world of health™.
