Systems Immunology
In future, Stefan H.E. Kaufmann's Emeritus Group will mainly focus on bioinformatics analyses in systems immunology. In particular, bioinformatics will be used to predict the safety and protective effects of vaccines and the risk of disease in infected persons. This topic covers the terms:
- Systems biology of tuberculosis
- Systems vaccinology
- Rational design of a vaccine against tuberculosis
- Biomarkers of susceptibility/resistance in tuberculosis
