Event Description
In this webinar, we will introduce basic concepts in immunology and demonstrate how to use the Immune Epitope Database to investigate immunity to COVID-19 and gain insights into key requirements for developing antibodies and vaccines to COVID-19. We will also present an activity that students can use for a research project and investigate immunity to whatever they choose.
Speaker: Dr. Sandra Porter, Shoreline Community College, Digital World Biology, and InnovATEBIO.
