About This Course
Systems Vaccinology: Omics and Computational Approaches applies a systems-biology lens to how vaccines work. You learn to integrate omics data — transcriptomics, proteomics and more — measured after vaccination, and use computational methods to map the immune response, identify signatures that predict protection, and understand why vaccines succeed or fail in different people. The course connects high-dimensional immunology data to better vaccine design and evaluation. You finish able to reason about a systems-vaccinology analysis of an immune response. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
