AIRR-seq in the Pandemic:
AIRR Community/Tsinghua University Joint Meeting
A pre-meeting to AIRR-C Meeting V: Zooming into the AIRR Community!
We are pleased to announce a meeting co-organized by the Adaptive Immune Receptor Repertoire (AIRR) Community and Tsinghua University, which will mainly focus on Chinese researchers using AIRR-seq data to study the adaptive immune response, especially in COVID-19 patients. This event has been scheduled as a pre-meeting for the regular AIRR Community Meeting V: “Zooming in to the AIRR Community” which will be held virtually December 8-10, 2020.
Professor Xiao Liu of Tsinghua University is organizing an in-person meeting of Chinese researchers in Shenzhen, China on Sunday December 6, 2020, and researchers from North America and Europe will join this group virtually.
One of the foundational goals of the AIRR Community is to develop protocols and standards that encourage sharing and common analysis approaches to AIRR-seq data. Chinese researchers are producing massive amounts of cutting-edge data not only on COVID-19 patients, but also for other diseases with an immune component, such as cancer, autoimmunity and infectious diseases. The purpose of this co-organized meeting is to expose AIRR-seq researchers in China to the philosophy and tools developed by the AIRR Community, and to help integrate researchers from all international regions of the globe through the AIRR Community. Collaboration and sharing data internationally is complicated and difficult, but we hope this meeting will help form the relationships necessary for overcoming some of these challenges.
Timeline:
The in-person meeting will convene on Sunday, December 6th, 2020 in Shenzhen.
North American researchers will virtually introduce the AIRR-seq Community approach and present research on COVID-19, and Dr. Nina Luning Prak, Chair of the AIRR Community Executive Sub-committee will deliver a welcome address. In addition, two members of the AIRR Community will join from Europe, including Victor Greiff. See the agenda below for further details.
Please join us if you can, in this international effort to integrate the immunogenetics community more closely with the AIRR Community!
Time:
In person: Sunday morning, December 6, 2020 (Beijing time) at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School
Virtually: Saturday evening, December 5, 2020 in North America
The meeting will be broadcasted virtually through Zoom.
