Head's up to immune receptor researchers: our new bioRxiv preprint describes major improvements to epitope-specific TCR/BCR data in the IEDB! - Re-curation and standardization of receptor data - Improved receptor search interface - AIRR-compliant exports www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

TCR prediction people, the @airr-community.bsky.social machine learning working group is running a competition (either predicting disease state at a repertoire level, or finding disease-associated receptors) Nov-Dec uio-bmi.github.io/adaptive_imm... Good science, good fun, with prizes to boot

I've got a PSA to the T cell receptor researchers of #immunosky to let you know about a new paper we've just got out: doi.org/10.1016/j.im... This covers how our field is handling the sets of germline #TCR genes used in our research. Maybe not the most glamorous topic, but it’s kind of a big deal…

Great work from my dear colleague Marcus Mendes, happy to have been included in this project!

New in Protein Science 🔬 LJI Prof. Bjoern Peters (@bjoernpeters.bsky.social) and colleagues analyze large-scale T-cell receptor sequence data to uncover determinants of MHC-I versus MHC-II recognition — onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #ImmuneSystem #Tcells #Immunology #Health #Medicine

Heads up TCR and immunoglobulin researchers: a nice piece keeping you updated on the efforts undertaken to make sure the TR/IG nomenclatures we use make sense

1/6 🧬 NEW COMMENTARY 🧬 Let’s talk about the challenges in immunoglobulin (IG) & T cell receptor (TR) gene nomenclature in the era of modern genomics. A 🧵 on why it’s time to rethink how we name these genes—and what it means for immunogenetics. #IGTR #Genomics #Immunology

Applications are now open! We are recruiting 20 Assistant Professors in a wide range of subject areas. We're looking for early-career researchers with strong scientific merits and future potential. 🔗 All positions: ki.se/en/about-ki/...

In preparation for #AAI #immunology2025 I’ve designed these super cute labels for #mAcademia nuts - thanks Peters lab for helping out with the labelling! Find them at booths #535 & #537 with @iedb.bsky.social @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social @hipcproject.bsky.social @airr-knowledge.bsky.social
