The Michelson Medical Research Foundation and the

Human Vaccines Project congratulate the recipients of the

2021 Michelson Prizes – Next Generation Grants.

These $150,000 research grants are awarded each year to

support promising early career scientists who are applying

disruptive research concepts to advance human immuno-

logy, vaccine discovery, and immunotherapy across major

global diseases.

Dr. Camila Consiglio, Dr. Rong Ma, and Dr. Nicholas Wu

were selected via a rigorous global competition and

represent the next generation of innovators in human

immunology and vaccine research. They will be honored

at a virtual ceremony on March 10, 2022, conducted as

part of the Human Vaccines Project’s Global Lab Meeting:
