About the workshop

Immunoinformatics is an emerging area of bioinformatics. It focuses on the structure, function and interactions of the molecules involved in immunity. Two major cell types, T-cells and B-cells, play significant roles in allergy, inflammation, infection and protective immunity. Recently developed in silico tools and databases that can be used to identify, characterize or predict antigen epitopes recognized by T- and B-cells.
