Content

This lecture provides an introduction to the world of immunoinformatics. It deals with the application of informatics methods to solve immunological problems, such as the development of new vaccines. Core topics include introduction to immunology, machine learning methods, MHC-peptide binding prediction, antigen processing prediction, vaccine design, and systems immunology.
Objectives

Understanding in dealing with immunological data. Transfer of methodological competences (machine learning) to concrete biological applications (immunology). Ability to develop and use own tools for immunoinformatics in a team. Project work strengthens teamwork and presentation skills.
