Register now for the March 27th AIRR Community Seminar Series

March 11, 2025 by Lorissa Corrie

Registration for the March 27th (4:00 PM – 5:30 PM CET, 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM PST) AIRR-C Seminar Series session is open. Following the usual format of the series, an established and an early career scientist will discuss their AIRR-seq related research. Note that this is a DST anomaly date so the time is one hour later for North America until the change.

Erick Matsen, Fred Hutch, USA will present “Inviting Darwin into antibody foundation models.” Next, Lena Erlach, ETH Zurich, Switzerland will present “Antibody affinity engineering using antibody repertoire data and machine learning.”

Season 3 of On AIRR is here!

February 6, 2025 by Lorissa Corrie

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Season 3 of On AIRR, the official podcast of the AIRR Community. This season kicks off with an insightful discussion featuring Dr. Thierry Mora and Dr. Aleksandra Walczak —  co-leaders of the Statistical Biophysics Group at Laboratoire de physique de l’ENS (LPENS) in Paris, France.

Dr. Mora and Dr. Walczak, physicists by training, have been pioneers in applying biophysics, neuroscience, and information theory methods to the analysis of the adaptive immune system, particularly in the context of V(D)J recombination. In this episode, they discuss the challenges of quantifying diversity within the immune repertoire and provide an overview of the powerful software tools developed by their group.

Listen now via your favorite podcast platform or here: http://onairr.airr-community.org. New episodes will be released monthly.

2025 Antibody Research Competition – Now Open!

February 3, 2025 by Joshua Dorai


We are happy to announce that the 2025 Antibody Society Research Competition is officially open to student and postdoctoral members of The Antibody Society. This competition is designed to recognize and support the innovative research contributions of early-career scientists in the field of antibody science.

Competition Details:

We invite students and postdocs to submit a summary of their research on any topic related to antibody science. While traditional poster presentations are welcome, we also encourage creative formats, such as videos or other unique presentations.

Relevant Topics Include

  • Antibody Engineering/Design
  • Antibody Therapeutics
  • Fc Effector Functions
  • Bispecific Antibodies
  • Antibody-Drug Conjugates
  • Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoires

Prizes for Winners:

Two winners (1 student and 1 postdoc) will be selected based on originality, creativity, scientific merit, and clarity. Each winner will receive:

  • A $400 cash prize
  • Free registration for either:
    • Schrödinger’s online course,
    • Introduction to Computational Antibody Engineering OR
    • Virtual Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics

Submission Guidelines:

  • Open only to student and postdoc members of The Antibody Society
  • Submissions must be your own work, but collaborative research is allowed with permission from co-authors
  • Submissions may include unpublished work or content from papers published within the past six months (with proper copyright permissions)
  • By entering the competition, winners agree to have their work published on The Antibody Society’s website

Important Dates:

  • Start Date: February 1, 2025
  • Submission Deadline: April 15, 2025

Please note that only the first 30 submissions will be considered, so we encourage you to submit early. If you’re not yet a member of The Antibody Society, membership is free for students and postdocs, so take this opportunity to join and participate.

To submit your entry or for more information, please email membership@antibodysociety.org.

We look forward to your participation!
