ASRI Fellowship Announcement

The American Society for Reproductive Immunology (ASRI) is pleased to announce the establishment of a clinical training program on Reproductive Immunology.  In an effort to promote standardization of training for fellows, ASRI has developed a formal process for eligible programs to earn the endorsement of the ASRI as an approved fellowship in clinical Reproductive Immunology. ASRI has developed guidelines for training programs that address specific curricular elements, scholarship, clinical experiences and facilities along with faculty support and expectations.   Complete details will be posted on the ASRI website and in a separate email to all members soon.

Help Us Make History!

In 2020, the American Society for Reproductive Immunology celebrates its 40th Anniversary. To commemorate this special occasion, we would like to create a living history record of video interviews of founding ASRI members, senior ASRI members and past presidents who have meaningful recollections of the history of the society over the past 40 years. These video vignettes will be used to inspire students, drive membership and encourage long-term contributions to the society.

We invite all ASRI members, both past and present, to participate in this project. Please take a moment to record your story today! Learn More about Voices of ASRI
