Explore with us the state-of-the-art in TCR-Epitope prediction. T-cells are at the heart of the immune system’s ability to distinguish between self and non-self, playing a critical role in both health and disease. Given the sheer scale of potential TCR-epitope interactions (stemming from both the enormous epitope and TCR repertoire diversity) experimental validation of each TCR interaction is not feasible. This has spurred the development of TCR-epitope prediction models that aim to narrow down the search for immunogenic epitopes, thereby streamlining research and reducing costs. Our webinar “Exploring TCR-Epitope Prediction Tools: Insights and Pitfalls” will delve into these predictive strategies, highlighting their importance in advancing immunological research and applications.
Speakers:
- Dr. Kerry Mullan (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
- Vincent Van Deuren (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
- Romi Vandoren (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
All three researchers are working under the supervision of Prof. Pieter Meysman, Prof. Kris Laukens, and Prof. Benson Ogunjimi at the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
