Immunodominance Prediction for New Pathogens
Develop models to forecast which epitopes will dominate immune responses upon exposure to new antigens, guiding vaccine and therapeutic development.

Drug development is often hampered by failures related to absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADME/Tox). Improved predictive models for molecular interactions are essential for designing safer, more effective drugs, as well as evaluating the impact of environmental chemicals.
Additionally, there is a significant gap in our knowledge of what exactly is present in foods and how these components affect human biology. A comprehensive mapping of the “foodome” and studies on food component functionality are needed to advance nutrition science and personalized dietary interventions.
