I have been in research for a very long time. There is something exhilarating about uncovering information, and for me, particularly information that could help in the field of medicine. And even though that end result is important, the process of getting to the end result is also important, because ...
The Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) is an important tool for developing immunotherapies and vaccines. The IEDB is also useful for educators who wish to incorporate undergraduate research in their classrooms. Dr. Sheela Vemu (Waubonsee Community College) has been using the IEDB with her students and as a team leader four of the Antibody Engineering Hackathons. She and her students were able to publish two peer-reviewed articles in the Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE) and one protocol in QUBES. You can learn more about the IEDB in this virtual workshop. Days & times: All days ...

The Immune Epitope Database and Analysis Program (IEDB) is a freely available resource funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to advance immunology research. It catalogs experimental data on antibody and T cell epitopes studied in humans, non-human primates, and other animal species in the context of infectious disease, allergy, autoimmunity and transplantation. The IEDB also hosts tools to assist in the prediction and analysis of epitopes. The IEDB team will be hosting one virtual user workshop over three days, approximately 4 hours a day. The workshop is free ...
The Allen Institute has continued to add to the free resources they make available to teachers. Along with the data sets and lesson plans I mentioned in my previous blogs ( Virtual Teaching with Allen Institute Open Data Sets, New Resources at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, Allen Institute ...
The technological Singularity is the moment beyond which "technological progress will become incomprehensibly rapid and complicated [1].” Hmmm. That sounds like bioinformatics.
Surviving the Singularity requires reducing complexity. This was the topic of a recent three-day Cyverse Container Camp hosted at the University of Arizona, Tucson AZ. I attended the ...
