Event outline
Building on the success of our previous virtual events (Special Event “Response to COVID-19,” Meeting V, and Zooming into the Community II), the joint Meetings and Communications Sub-committee is pleased to present this years’ mid-cycle virtual event. This 2-day meeting marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the AIRR Community, and the topic of our talks is “Specificity”, including how to define it, how to measure it, why does it matter, and how to curate and share data on immune receptor specificity in a FAIR manner.
- Day 1 will highlight presentations from our Working Groups and Review- and Sub-Committees and plans for the future.
- May 21 (8:00-10:30 PDT/11:00-13:30 EST/17:00-19:30 CEST)
- Day 2 will highlight two scientific talk sessions (AIRR specificity – from an immunological perspective and AIRR specificity – from a computational perspective).
- May 22 (8:00-11:00 PDT/11:00-14:00 EST/17:00-20:00 CEST)
