imusuonista

Imusuonista is a neologism used to describe a person who specializes in immunology and related public-facing work. The word appears mainly in Spanish-language discussions and in speculative or didactic contexts. It blends the prefix inmuno- (from inmunología, immune system) with the suffix -ista, which forms names of professionals such as nutricionista or dentista. The term is not part of formal medical lexicon, and its meaning varies by context.

In general usage, an imusuonista may refer to one of several roles: a researcher focused on the immune system; a clinician with a strong emphasis on immunology; a science communicator who translates immunology concepts for the public; or an advocate for immunization policy and vaccine literacy. Some writers deploy the term to discuss the intersection of science, medicine, and society, or to critique or celebrate the public-facing work of immunology experts.

The term can appear in fiction to designate a character who navigates laboratory work and public health campaigns, or in online communities as a label for enthusiasts who study vaccines, autoimmunity, and immunobiology. Because its usage is informal, precise definitions should be confirmed by context. See also immunology, immunologist, vaccinology, science communication.
