In this webinar, Drs. Deane, Raybould and Boyles will share examples of how structure prediction enriches antibody sequence data and provide practical guidance for getting started using Oxford Protein Informatics Group (OPIG) tools to structurally featurise your antibody sequences. In particular, they will demonstrate the added value to tasks such as antibody functional clustering, repertoire disease-response diagnosis, and virtual screening.

With each major meeting interval of the AIRR Community, elections are held for leadership positions on the AIRR-C Executive Sub-committee. This spring, per our governance, we are seeking nominations for Executive SC Chair-Elect and up to three members of the Executive SC.
To nominate an individual to serve on the AIRR-C Executive SC, the nominator as well as the nominee need to be members of the AIRR Community and the nominee must be willing to serve on the AIRR-C Executive SC. You are welcome (but not required) to nominate as many people as you would like. You can nominate the same person to become Chair-Elect or to become a Member of the Executive SC, and if you want, you can nominate yourself! Here is our election timeline:
