Zooming into the Community III — A Milestone Virtual Gathering!

June 3, 2025 by Lorissa Corrie

On May 21–22, 2025, the AIRR Community came together for our third “Zooming into the Community” virtual meeting, celebrating 10 years of collaborative science and innovation in immune receptor research.

📊 Attendance Highlights:

  • Day 1: 106 registered / 68 attendees
  • Day 2: 131 registered / 82 attendees

This year’s mid-cycle event, themed “Specificity”, sparked critical discussion on defining, measuring, and curating immune receptor specificity. A big thanks to the organizers of the event, the joint Meetings & Communications Sub-Committee, who were building on the success of our past events (Special Event “Response to COVID-19” and Zooming II).

🧠 Event Highlights:

  • Presentations from AIRR Working Groups, Review-Committees, and Sub-Committees on key developments and future directions
  • A special General Assembly celebrating our 10-year anniversary
  • Outstanding invited speakers:
    • Antonio Lanzavecchia (INGM, Italy)
    • Victor Greiff (University of Oslo, Norway)
    • Maria Rodriguez Martinez (Yale University, USA)
    • David Klatzmann (Sorbonne Université, France)

🎥 Missed it? Sessions were recorded and will be available soon on the AIRR Community YouTube Channel.

Thanks to all who participated and contributed to this vibrant community event! Here’s to another decade of discovery. 💡

New episode of the On AIRR podcast is here!

March 25, 2025 by Lorissa Corrie

In this episode of On AIRR, we welcome Dr. Bjoern Peters, Professor at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology, to discuss the crucial role of high-quality data in AI-driven immunological predictions and diagnostics.

Dr. Peters shares his journey from theoretical physics to MHC-binding prediction, leading to his work on the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) — the world’s largest resource for immune epitope data. He highlights how good data often outcompete algorithmic improvements and discusses the challenges of data standardization in immunology. The conversation also delves into epitope prediction, AIRR sequencing for diagnostics, and the need for rigorous model validation in clinical applications.

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.
