Who can join?
Membership is open to health care professionals (practicing clinicians, researchers, nurses and other allied health care professionals) across the globe who are involved or interested in the study or treatment of PNH and who are not employed full-time by industry.
Membership is also open to representatives from pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry representatives who are affiliated with companies that support IPIG’s mission as Corporate Partners.
Representatives from contract research organizations, investment firms, and venture capital firms are not eligible for membership, given that IPIG is a not-for-profit scientific/educational organization whose purpose is to promulgate knowledge about and advocate for appropriate treatment and care of persons living with PNH.
Membership in IPIG is currently free of charge; no dues are assessed.
