About This Course

In the era of precision medicine, the development of personalized vaccines targeting patient-specific neoantigens has become a breakthrough in immunotherapy. This 3-day live virtual workshop is designed to bridge the gap between immunoinformatics and artificial intelligence, focusing on the intelligent prediction and validation of B-cell and T-cell epitopes, crucial for vaccine development.

Participants will explore cutting-edge AI models such as DeepVacPred, NetMHCpan, DeepImmuno, and VaxiJen, alongside hands-on training in integrated workflows for predicting, ranking, and designing multi-epitope vaccine constructs. Real-world case studies on cancer neoantigen prediction and in silico validation techniques will prepare learners for impactful contributions in biotech and biopharma R&D.

Aim

This workshop aims to equip participants with foundational and advanced knowledge of AI-powered epitope prediction and neoantigen vaccine design. It focuses on integrating immunoinformatics, machine learning, and structural bioinformatics tools for designing personalized vaccines, especially in oncology and infectious diseases.

Course Objectives

  1. Understand the principles of epitope prediction and neoantigen biology

  2. Gain familiarity with key AI tools used for epitope analysis

  3. Implement ML models for antigenicity and MHC binding prediction

  4. Design multi-epitope vaccines and validate them using in silico tools

  5. Evaluate real-world applications and challenges in AI-driven vaccinology
