Human Immunome Project
Vice President for Philanthropy (Remote Location)
( New York | Remote )
About the Organization
Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with the Human Immunome Project (HIP) in the search for a Vice President for Philanthropy.
The Human Immunome Project is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to decoding and modeling the immune system. Together with its network of partners, HIP is pioneering the next frontier in health and medicine. HIP envisions a future that harnesses the power of the immune system to improve health for all. A future where life expectancy and access to lifesaving preventative care, diagnostics, and treatment are not dependent on your race or ethnicity, where you live or your socioeconomic status. A future where pandemics can be stopped in their tracks, and we can beat infectious and non-communicable diseases alike.
The human immune system is one of the most complex systems in the world—and one of its most important. It determines whether we survive infancy, which diseases we get, how we age, and how long we live. Within it lies the secrets of who will respond, and how, to potential threats to our health. Understanding our immune system is the key to fighting disease and improving health for all. Yet its complexity has limited our ability to tap into its potential—until now. Recent advances in AI provide the tools to rapidly process the trillions of datapoints required to model the immune system, understand how it varies across individuals, and develop targeted approaches to elongating health spans and combatting disease. The Human Immunome Project was designed to meet this moment—to combine systems biology with the power of artificial intelligence, to decode and model the immune system to improve health for all.
The Human Immunome Project welcomed new leadership in 2023 with Dr. Hans Keirstead assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer. Throughout the year, work continued alongside the Scientific Steering Committee, led by Dr. John Tsang and Dr. Shai Shen-Orr to articulate a global study protocol and scaling strategy to generate the world’s largest immunological dataset and build publicly available AI models of the immune system. With the release of the Scientific Strategic Plan, HIP 2.0 was launched and began to execute on an actionable strategy to transform the future of global health.
