We apologize for multiple posting. It would be greatly appreciated if this
announcement could be shared with individuals whose research interests include
Immunoinformatics and Computational Immunology.
Call for Papers
Immunoinformatics and Computational Immunology Workshop (ICIW 2010)
*******************************************************************
To be held in conjunction with the ACM International Conference on
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ACM-BCB)
(http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/ACM-BCB2010/), Niagara Falls, NY, U.S.A. August 2-4,
2010
http://ailab.cs.iastate.edu/iciw2010
Naturally emerging or reemerging diseases pose some of the most serious threats
to human health. Computational methods are urgently needed for developing new
vaccines, therapies, and models to improve our understanding of the immune
system, and reliable tools for focusing experimental investigations.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers in computer scientists,
computational biologists, structural biologists, virologists, bacteriologists,
immunologists, vaccinologists, and systems biologists to share research
challenges, research results, methods, and advances in immunoinformatics and
computational immunology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Structural Immunoinformatics
- Epitope analysis and prediction
- MHC-peptide binding site analysis and prediction
- Immunoinformatics Databases, Knowledge Bases, Ontologies
- Computational modeling of immune system
- Analysis and prediction of minor histocompatibility antigens
- Predictive models for organ transplantation
- Immunogenomics
- Vaccine design
- Artificial immune systems and other biologically-inspired paradigms
- Multi-agent based modeling of immune response
- Allergenicity prediction
- Gene expression changes in adaptive immune response
- Comparative approaches to immunology
