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…

A screenshot of the old style '10 PM, do you know where your children are?' PSA poster, with the 'children are?' scribbled out and 'TCR germline gene reference comes from?' crudely pasted over the top.

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

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
