Day 2 of #festivalofbiologicsusa has begun, with Dr. Zeynep Kosaloglu-Yalcin presenting a meta analysis of cancer neoantigens in Theater 3 at 11:20 AM!
Dr. Sette currently speaking on how the IEDB’s and CEDAR’s tools can support the development and testing of biologics #festivalofbiologicsUSA
We’re all set up at the #festivalofbiologicsusa! Dr. Alessandro Sette will be speaking today at 12:10 PM!
Three weeks until the Festival of Biologics on March 4 and 5! You can register here using the code LAJOLLA20 for a 20% discount on your registration: www.terrapinn.com/FOBUSA26/laj...
The IEDB will be present at the 2026 Festival of Biologics at booth 235 in San Diego March 4-5, featuring talks from Drs. Alessandro Sette and Zeynep Kosaloglu-Yalcin! Register to attend at www.terrapinn.com/FOBUSA26/laj..., and use the code LAJOLLA20 for 20% off your registration.
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) 🌴

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
Two more #mAcademia nuts! With Tal Einav & Jeffrey Frelinger
