ATE Events — November 2024
Upcoming
The Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) is an important tool for developing immunotherapies and vaccines. The IEDB is also useful for educators who wish to incorporate undergraduate research in their classrooms. Dr. Sheela Vemu (Waubonsee Community College) has been using the IEDB with her students and as a team leader four of the Antibody Engineering Hackathons. She and her students were able to publish two peer-reviewed articles in the Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE) and one protocol in QUBES. You can learn more about the IEDB in this virtual workshop.
Topics include:
- Overview of the IEDB curation process, database structure, and content. The different database query features will be demonstrated and a research example will be provided.
- Overview of the epitope prediction and analysis tools for both the Next-Generation tools and classic Analysis Resource.
- Specialized topics will be covered including specific tools, the IEDB application programming interface (API), and other areas of research, such as HIV and cancer.

Quantum computing is presently in a “pre-vacuum-tube” era, with noisy devices that need error correction. But such architectures require many physical components, creating a high hardware and control overhead. Instead, a different paradigm based on individual devices, each with a high number of internal levels, has been proposed to achieve better hardware efficiency. The challenge then is how to accomplish universal control over such a multilevel system. This talk presents a new protocol for multi-level control (“matrix element modification”) in which the correspondence between control parameters and the resulting quantum dynamics of the oscillator is clear. This protocol was recently used to demonstrate high-dimensional quantum control of a harmonic oscillator, producing dynamics akin to that of a rotating top that are useful for logical quantum operations.
