TCR sequencing enables robust and specific analysis of T cell–mediated protection, overcoming assay complexity and HLA diversity to inform vaccine design.

Metatranscriptomics combined with AI reveals unprecedented RNA virus diversity, uncovering highly divergent viruses across ecosystems and redefining the virosphere.

We invite you to participate in the upcoming symposium, “From Emerging Pathogens to Vaccines and Therapeutics”, which is the scientific kick-off symposium for the Ignaz Semmelweis Institute and will bring together internationally renowned researchers and clinicians to discuss current advances and challenges in infectious disease research and biomedical innovation.

After vaccination, responding B cells may differentiate along the extrafollicular path, which leads to the production of short-lived plasmablasts, or along the germinal center (GC) route, which leads to the generation of long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells.
