The 2025 IEDB Virtual User Workshop wrapped up over two weeks ago. Thank you to our wonderful presenters and attendees! Workshop resources can be found here - discuss.iedb.org/t/2025-iedb-... The recordings can be found on YouTube - youtube.com/playlist?lis... Thanks for your continued support! 🧪🧑‍🔬🥼👩‍🔬

Our last two presentations are from the Los Alamos National Lab. Jenni Macke and Dr. Jennifer Mamrosh discussed the HIV Sequence, Immunology & CATNAP Neutralization Databases. Thank you for joining the IEDB workshop to showcase your useful resources! Learn more at www.hiv.lanl.gov #iedbuw2025

Dr. @zeynepky.bsky.social next described the published prostate cancer and neoepitope meta-analyses that were generated using @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social data. Zeynep has pioneered CEDAR progress and the newly published neoepitope meta-analysis - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... #iedbuw2025

On Day 2 we discussed the Next-Generation Tools (nextgen-tools.iedb.org); today Daniel Marrama walked through the cancer-specific tools and how to design a cancer analysis pipeline. These tools are denoted by the @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social logo to show their cancer application #iedbuw2025

Dr. @zeynepky.bsky.social next presented how to access the CEDAR data through database queries and exports (cedar.iedb.org), using real case studies. If you haven't already, we recommend testing out the database, building your own query, and filtering results! @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social #iedbuw2025

The third and final day of the 2025 IEDB User Workshop has kicked off! Today we discuss specialized resources, the first being @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social! Dr. Sette provided a brief overview, followed by Dr. Matthew Busse, Senior Curator, who discussed the CEDAR curation process #iedbuw2025

Day 2 has concluded with Dr. @everichardson.bsky.social discussing the receptor tools; TCRMatch and BCRMatch. TCRMatch can be accessed here tools.iedb.org/tcrmatch/ and BCRMatch is currently available as a command line with a preprint - www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... See you on day 3! #iedbuw2025

We next moved into the receptor space and Dr. @lonnekescheffer.bsky.social discussed the TCR and BCR data in the IEDB, data improvement projects, and our role in community efforts such as @airr-knowledge.bsky.social. Science means continual improvements through collaboration! #iedbuw2025

The classic Analysis Resource also contains B Cell Epitope Prediction Tools (tools.iedb.org/main/bcell/) and Joakim Clifford from the Denmark Technical University next discussed these tools. We are busy implementing B cell predictions to the Next-Gen site - stayed tuned in early 2026! #iedbuw2025

IEDB Co-PI @bjoernpeters.bsky.social next walks us through the T Cell Class II prediction tools on the Next-Generation platform (nextgen-tools.iedb.org/tc2) #iedbuw2025

Day 2 of the 2025 IEDB Virtual User Workshop has kicked off! Dr. J Greenbaum has started the day with a look at the T Cell Class I Prediction Tools on the Next-Gen platform (nextgen-tools.iedb.org/tc1). Test it out if you haven't had a chance #iedbuw2025

Day 1 has wrapped up with Dr. Sette presenting the Analysis Tools (tools.iedb.org/main/analysi...). Join us tomorrow for Day 2, as we take a further look at the epitope prediction tools for T cells, B cells and receptors #iedbuw2025

Want a preview of Day 2? Dr. @bjoernpeters.bsky.social presented the Analysis Resource Overview, which features the Next-Generation Tools (nextgen-tools.iedb.org) and the classic Analysis Resource (tools.iedb.org). Learn more tomorrow! #iedbuw2025

Sr. Document Specialist, Lindy Edwards, has officially launched the new IEDB help platform - Discourse (discuss.iedb.org). It will soon be available from the IEDB home page, but we were excited to show you the latest work. Ask a question in the new Discussions forum! #iedbuw2025

Our Leidos collaborator, Kelly Wheeler, discussed how to download the data in the IEDB via the Custom Exports in the web interface, or programatically using our Application Programming Interface (API). We try to cater to all approaches, making it easy for our users to download IEDB data! #iedbuw2025

Dr. Randi Vita has taken us through each feature of the Immune Epitope Database (iedb.org) including the homepage query parameters, the results tabs and filter options, as well as the finders, epitope and antigen details pages, the ImmunomeBrowser and 3D viewers #iedbuw2025

The dream team Dr. Alessandro Sette and Dr. @albagrifoni.bsky.social just presented an overview of the IEDB and how it can be used in research. Dr. Grifoni discussed her lab's progress on a panBetaCoronavirus approach, which used the IEDB's ImmunomeBrowser. Thank you, both! #iedbuw2025

The 2025 IEDB Virtual User Workshop has kicked off! Our Day 1 presenters include Dr. Alessandro Sette, @bjoernpeters.bsky.social, @albagrifoni.bsky.social, Dr. Randi Vita, Kelly Wheeler and Lindy Edwards. We're delving into how to use the database with real research examples #iedbuw2025

To start this work, Syandrez performed a meta-analysis of known epitopes 🖥️ (using the fantastic resource IEDB @iedb.bsky.social) and investigated what is already known about: - viral proteome coverage 🧫 - HLA-restriction 🧬 - conservation of epitopes across types (high and low risk) 🌴

Have you registered for the 2025 IEDB Virtual User Workshop yet? It will be held via Zoom Webinar from November 18-20, 8am to 12pm Pacific Time. Don't miss out - www.surveymonkey.com/r/IEDBUW2025 @bjoernpeters.bsky.social @zeynepky.bsky.social @hipcproject.bsky.social #iedbuw2025

Check out our latest collaboration with UniProt, who has integrated over 700,000 experimentally validated epitopes to enhance its protein entries with detailed immune response information. This data is accessible via the UniProt Feature Viewer and API! 💻🔬🧪 #collaboration #immunology #proteins

Last booth day at #AAI2025 #IMMUNOLOGY2025! Visit booths #535 & #537 for data, demos, and the final round of #mAcademia @airr-knowledge.bsky.social @iedb.bsky.social @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social 🌰🍫

Day 2 is here! Visit booths #535 & #537 to chat with us about immune receptors, epitopes & study data integration efforts (and #mAcademia 🌰🍫 of course) @hipcproject.bsky.social @iedb.bsky.social @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social #AAI2025 #IMMUNOLOGY2025

In preparation for #AAI #immunology2025 I’ve designed these super cute labels for #mAcademia nuts - thanks Peters lab for helping out with the labelling! Find them at booths #535 & #537 with @iedb.bsky.social @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social @hipcproject.bsky.social @airr-knowledge.bsky.social

🚨Science Booth Alert🧪📈 Join us at our #AAI Immunology Super Booth (#535 & #537) with @cedar-epitopes.bsky.social @hipcproject.bsky.social & @airr-knowledge.bsky.social to understand how complex immune data can be used to create unique insights for #Immunology research #AAI2025 immunology2025.aai.org

The IEDB is excited to be one of the fantastic resources included in the AIRR Knowledge Commons (AKC) project! @airr-knowledge.bsky.social We're bringing antigen specificity and epitope data, which is being integrated with genomic and receptor repertoire information. Learn more at airr-knowledge.org

Exciting news!! We are happy to announce that we will have a HIPC Symposium at @aai.org on Tues, May 6th. HIPC will also have a Super Booth at #AAI2025 along with @iedb.bsky.social and the iAKC Project. Check out the full Symposia list, and see you there! 🔗: immunology2025.aai.org/guest-sympos...
