14:00 - 15:00 Weekly Seminar Computational Immunology and the Adaptive Immune System: From Exploring Data to New Insights School BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES At its core, the adaptive immune system grapples with a profound question: What is self, and what is non-self? This distinction underpins its ability to defend against pathogens while avoiding harm to the body s own tissues. When this delicate balance falters, it manifests in pathologies like autoimmunity, where the immune system attacks the self, or cancer, where altered self-cells evade detection. Computational immunology strives to decode the vast data generated by the immune system, unraveling its complexity through algorithms, models, and visualization. This interdisciplinary effort, spanning biology, AI, mathematics, and medicine, not o ... |
