For basic science, the comprehensive analysis of the immunopeptidome is a critical component for understanding the immune system; for translational science, exact knowledge of the immunopeptidome can directly fuel and guide the development of next-generation vaccines, cell therapies and immunotherapies against autoimmunity, infectious diseases and cancers. HUPO-HIPP started in 2015. The long-term goal of HUPO-HIPP is to map the entire repertoire of peptides presented by HLA molecules using mass spectrometry technologies, and make its robust analysis accessible to any immunologist, clinical-investigator and other researchers. Pillars of the HUPO-HIPP program are: (1) method and technology development, (2) standardization, (3) effective data sharing, and (4) education. Current lines of work:

A 3 day event where you will have the opportunity to meet experts in the field of immunopeptidomic. Providing opportunities for networking among young scientists in the field of immunopeptidomics, our summer school will contribute to boost the accessibility to immunopeptidomics technologies and to open this scientific niche to a bigger audience. |
