Computational and Experimental Immunology

Overview

The development in biomedical technologies over the past few years has enabled researchers to gather large quantities of biological data. The advancement in computational algorithms and the availability of high performance computing resources make it possible to process such large quantities of data. This has opened up new opportunities for researchers to look at the pressing problems in complex biological systems in general and immunological systems in particular from a computational perspective. The aim of this program is to bring together researchers and leading experts in the field of computational immunology to stimulate intellectual discussion on topics of mutual interests and explore possible avenues of collaboration. The program structure provides ample opportunity for the participants to interact, present and discuss ideas related to various aspects of this important research area.

The program is hosted in the new IAS building at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which provides an relaxed and peaceful environment for stimulating discussions.
