Great thread from LJI Prof. Bjoern Peters (@bpeters) on the importance of #WhoopingCough research — and new approaches to #vaccine design 👇
Whooping Cough Cases Are Surging in the U.S. Cases in 2024 are 5x higher than last year, underscoring the need for ongoing pertussis research and stronger prevention efforts. nytimes.com/2024/08/22/wel… (1/5)
Attention #bioinformatics researchers! The CMI-PB Challenge deadline is coming up on Nov. 22. More info here 👇 #immunology #DataScience #Tcells #VaccineResearch #Pertussis #WhoopingCough #ImmuneSystem #InfectiousDiseases
We are excited to announce that the 3rd (Public) CMI-PB Challenge is officially underway! Test out your modeling skills to predict immune responses to B. pertussis #whoopingcough booster vaccination using multi-omics datasets for a chance to win. #bioinformatics #immunology (1/5)
How to Get Involved: 🧬 Visit cmi-pb.org/blog/predictio… to register. 🗓️ Deadline to submit: Nov 22, 2024. 📈 Let’s solve this challenge and make a difference in global health! (5/5)📷
After many zoom meetings, discussions & learning from one another about different ways to look at the same data/problem, our perspective article on regulatory genomics is out. We have a “hallmarks of gene regulation” figure which i am planning to use in my talks. Enjoy reading!
Delighted to have worked on this perspective on the cis-regulatory code with @JuliaZeitlinger, @JasonErnstLab, @ferhatay, @AMathelier, @AleMedinaRivera, @mahonylab, @sinhasaur arxiv.org/abs/2411.04363. We provide an overview of current progress and some challenges to think about.
Interested in #cancer epitopes? Check out the Cancer Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (CEDAR), directed by LJI Professors Alessandro Sette (@SetteLab) and Bjoern Peters (@bpeters) cedar.iedb.org #Immunotherapy #Immunology #Tcells #Bioinformatics #iedbuw2024
Did you know that the IEDB has also developed a sibling resource called the Cancer Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (CEDAR)? It is funded by the National Cancer Institute and can be found at cedar.iedb.org #iedbuw2024
This week's IEDB User Workshop (#iedbuw2024) has been a great opportunity to learn the latest about new #epitope research tools and exciting applications in #immunology research!
Dr. Alessandro Sette @SetteLab presented an overview of the IEDB Analysis Tools and how they can be used to facilitate immunology research. #iedbuw2024
Dr. Bjoern Peters @bpeters just walked us through the T Cell MHC Class II tools available (+ Tepitool) on our classic Analysis Resource site (tools.iedb.org/main/). These tools cover binding, processing and immunogenicity #iedbuw2024
Always a pleasure to present in the @iedb_ workshops and learn new cool features developed #iedbu2024
Dr. @Alba_Grifoni demonstrated how she and her team use the IEDB in their research of immune responses to viral infections. #iedbuw2024
The IEDB Virtual User Workshop has kicked off for 2024! @SetteLab first presented a database overview, followed by @bpeters, who presented an overview of the tools (learn more on day 2). What have you learned so far? #iedbuw2024

Best group costume, 2024 @ljiresearch. After Mario rode on Yoshi and jumped Boo, it was clenched. Happy Halloween!
