American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics
The American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI) is the professional society that runs the journal.[3] Founded in 1972, the society has since gathered over 1,000 members from over 33 countries.[4]
ASHI is responsible for accrediting HLA typing laboratories internationally to maintain the quality standards for histocompatibility testing between donors and recipients, with UNOS and NMDP utilizing its service to inspect and determine whether laboratories complied to industrial practices.[5] They also published the first CWD (common and well documented) allele list, encouraging researchers to compare genetic differences between populations.[6]
ASHI also sponsors several awards in recognition of accomplishments and contributions to the field of histocompatibility and immunogenetics, including:[7]
- Rose Payne Award
- Bernard Amos Distinguished Scientist Award
- Paul I. Terasaki Clinical Science Award
- Distinguished Service Award
