About This Course
Epitope Prediction and Neoantigen Vaccine Design explores one of the most exciting directions in personalised medicine: vaccines tailored to a patient’s own tumour. You learn how tumour mutations create neoantigens, and the computational pipeline that finds the ones worth targeting — calling mutations, predicting which peptides bind MHC and are presented, and ranking candidate epitopes for immunogenicity. The course connects these prediction methods to real neoantigen-vaccine design and the challenges of turning a bioinformatic candidate into an effective therapy. You finish able to reason through a neoantigen-discovery workflow. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
