Active Learning for Rapid Design of Vaccines and Antibodies

Thomas Desautels | 20-ERD-032

Executive Summary

By integrating computational and experimental tools (including high-throughput in vitro assays), we will develop a platform for the rapid design of antibodies and vaccine antigens. Based on machine learning, this revolutionary platform will enable a scalable, rapid response to biothreats.
