2025 IEDB Virtual User Workshop Presentations Our team holds an annual user workshop where we invite those new to the IEDB and experienced users who want to better understand and utilize this resource. The workshop is a great opportunity to learn...

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
