Immunology Foundations for Computational Scientists — Hands-on

Build a rigorous conceptual foundation in modern immunology tailored for data and computational scientists. You will map immune system architecture, cells and molecules to the kinds of data, models and pipelines used in immunoinformatics, vaccinology and host–pathogen analytics.
