Analysis of the T cell receptor repertoire

Funded Activity Summary

“Killer T cells” are specialised cells that help control viral infection. T cells recognize virus via proteins called “T cell receptors” (TCR). TCR are incredibly diverse, allowing us to recognise many different viruses. Recent advances in technology allow us to look at TCR and the genes encoding them, however their complexity makes that data difficult to interpret. I will use mathematical and statistical approaches to analyse and model this data to better understand immune recognition.
