Pure profile

Research groups

Computational biology & systems immunology

Research aim

We integrate experimental and computational immunology to understand, predict, and engineer adaptive immune recognition. This includes developing software, profiling of immune responses, and designing computationally-guided therapeutics.

Computational immunology core

Research aim

We bring together bioinformaticians, biostatisticians and mathematical modelers to develop new methodologies to interpret the complex datasets that are being generated by immunologists, and form a bridge between the wet and dry labs and the clinic.
