The event was organised and led by Hashem Koohy, a Group Leader in the MRC Translational Immune Discovery Unit and Centre for Computational Biology, together with Co-Chair Chris Thorpe from EMBL-EBI and a talented organising committee.

The scientific programme centred on three guiding questions:

  1. What fundamental immunological questions can AI and technology help address?
  2. How can AI move beyond prediction to deliver mechanistic understanding?
  3. How can discoveries be effectively translated into real-world applications?
