April 1, 2024 by Edel Aron

The AIRR-C Meetings Sub-Committee is pleased to announce that registration is live for the AIRR-C VII Meeting!

AIRR-C Meetings VII – Learnings and Perspectives will be held in-person at the prestigious Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, in Porto, Portugal. While we are excited to gather in large numbers this June, we understand that not everyone can travel and attend in-person. As such, the Meeting will also be offered as a hybrid event so both in-person and virtual participants can engage and enjoy multiple live-streaming sessions and recorded content, an in-conference app, opportunities to engage with colleagues and industry sponsors, and to network, through the Whova meeting platform.

REGISTER NOW


Optional Group Dinner Ticket

We have secured a fabulous venue for the final night dinner on Thursday, June 6th! Porto is famous for, you guessed it, Port! As part of the group dinner, we have arranged for a brief cellar tour that will include some fascinating history of the region. 

Be sure to register for the group dinner and cellar tour event on the Whova meeting platform. It will take place at the Cálem Port Wine Cellars. Your ticket includes the cellar tour, a welcome cocktail reception, a selection of drinks, and a three course meal (you choose options from a set menu).

AIRR Community and Tsinghua University discuss Chinese research using AIRR-seq data to study adaptive immune response in COVID-19 patients

May 13, 2021 by Pam Borghardt

A meeting focusing on Chinese researchers’ use of AIRR-seq data to study the adaptive immune response – especially in COVID-19 patients – was held recently by the AIRR Community and Tsinghua University.

The purpose of this co-organized meeting was to expose AIRR-seq researchers in China to the philosophy and tools developed by the AIRR Community and help integrate researchers from all over the world through the AIRR Community.

Although collaboration and sharing data internationally is complicated and difficult, this successful meeting was an important step in forming the relationships necessary for overcoming many of these challenges.

Tsinghua University is a major research university in Beijing and a member of the C9 League of Chinese universities. Since its establishment exactly 110 years ago, it has produced many notable leaders in science, engineering, politics, business, academia, and culture. The university is ranked as the 15th best university in the world in the QS World University Rankings and No.1 in Asia by the Asia University Rankings and the U.S. News and World Report.

The meeting followed a hybrid format, combining online lectures by AIRR Community members in the US and Europe in conjunction with an in-person meeting in Shenzhen, China that was organized by Professor Xiao Liu of Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen campus.

The in-person, all-day meeting was held on December 6, 2020 in Shenzhen, which corresponded to Saturday evening December 5 in North America.

The full meeting agenda can be found on the meeting web page and the meeting recording has been posted on the AIRR-C YouTube Channel.
