Rapid vaccine development through immunoinformatics ans immunisequencing.

Vaccines are used to stimulate the immune system in its defense against pathogens and cancer. Vaccine development involves extensive clinical trials that study the changes in antibodies and immune cells in response to the vaccine to determine their efficacy and safety. This is often an extensive and costly process, with a high failure rate. This project aims to develop a computational framework for use within vaccine clinical trials to make the process more efficient, more rapid and more accurate. The basis of this framework is the new immunological and molecular insights that have been gained through the advent of immunosequencing and immune-informatics technologies, and it builds further upon a successful collaboration between immunologists and data scientists.
