DESCRIPTION:Information in cytokine dynamics : robotic mapping and machine 
 learning\n\nPaul Francois\, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø\n	Tuesday January 19\, 12-1pm
 \n	Zoom Link: https:/mcgill.zoom.us/j/91589192037\n\nAbstract: An immune re
 sponse is by essence a collective computation. Starting with the initial a
 ctivations of few T cells\, a complex dance of immune actors self-organize
  over long time scales. Understanding how and why immune cells communicate
  with one another to perform this response could be key to a better unders
 tanding of personalized medecine and immunotherapy. In collaboration with 
 Grégoire Altan-Bonnet (NIH)\, we have developped a pipeline to study\, dec
 ode and model cytokine communications between T cells. I will show how sim
 ple machine learning allows to project the complex immune response into a 
 2D latent space\, where immune parameters can be simple deconvolved. Remar
 kably\, this suggests a simple model of collective communication and compu
 tation\, highly reproducible and universal. I will show how our approach c
 an be used to predict quality of unknown antigen\, and how it can potentia
 lly help to better estimate success of immunotherapy.\n
