Technologist Members - Technologists Members shall be non-doctoral and non-supervisory individuals in the fields of histocompatibility and/or immunogenetics who are not prior full members.
Student/Fellow Members - Student/Fellow Members shall be individuals involved in, or have shown interest in, the field of histocompatibility and/or immunogenetics who are not prior full members.
International Associate Members - International Associate Members shall be international individuals involved in histocompatibility and/or immunogenetics who are not prior full members. |
