Spring 2017-2020 | Computational Immunology Mini Course
This course provides an overview of computational methods used in the analysis of immunological data, including transcriptomics, next generation sequencing, cytometry and CyTOF. We provide a theoretical framework but focus on real applications.
The first hour of each session is in lecture format (livestreamed and archived) followed by an intimate discussion session with the registered students.
- Spring 2020 (COVID-19 focus): Co-directed by Marina Sirota, Gabi Fragiadakis and Matt Spitzer.
- Spring 2019: Co-directed by Marina Sirota, Jill Hollenbach and Matt Spitzer.
- Spring 2018: Co-directed by Marina Sirota, Jill Hollenbach and Matt Spitzer
- Spring 2017: Co-directed by Marina Sirota, Matt Spitzer.
Effective modeling, acquisition and mining of data have become crucial for solving important problems in immunology. This course explores novel molecular and computational approaches to interrogating outstanding questions in immunology and related fields. We will provide an overview of computational methods used in the analysis of immunological data, including transcriptomics, next generation sequencing, microbiome, immune repertoire, cytometry and CyTOF. Speakers are invited to share their insights into the state-of-the-art trends, provide a theoretical framework but also focus on real applications. Please find links to some relevant lectures below.

Summer 2016 | Computational Immunology Seminars
A Computational Immunology Seminar Series offered in collaboration with Stanford University. Seminars hosted at Stanford and interactively streamed at UCSF in Mission Hall.
Summer 2019-2020 | UCSF AI4ALL Program
UCSF AI4ALL is a partnership between UCSF and AI4ALL to teach AI to high school students from underrepresented groups, focusing on AI for biomedical applications. Founded and directed by Marina Sirota and co-directed by Tomiko Oskotsky, this tuition-free annual program involves hands-on experience with AI, hearing from a diverse set of role models in AI, and learning about how AI can be used to advance health. Please donate to UCSF AI4ALL!
