Machine Learning and the Immunopeptidome
January 8, 2019
Kevin Michael Boehm and colleagues from the Englander Institute for Precision Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine have just published a new paper on how machine learning can be used to expand our understanding of the immunopeptidome.
The new paper, “Predicting peptide presentation by major histocompatability complex class I: an improved machine learning approach to the immunopeptide,” was published on January 5, 2019 in BMC Bioinformatics.
The Power of Collaboration
December 24, 2018
Collaborations between the Englander Institute for Precision Medicine (EIPM), Cornell University in Ithaca, and Cornell Tech are important to the future of precision medicine. To highlight the intellectual rewards of collaboration, we are pleased to introduce two young Ph.D. students from Cornell University who are spending significant time at the EIPM in New York City working on cutting-edge research projects.
Question: Please tell our readers about your research.

Mentoring Future Scientists
November 21, 2018
At the Englander Institute for Precision Medicine, we take our commitment to mentoring young scientists and encouraging the next generation of investigators very seriously.
So when the directors of the World Science Academy, a pre-college program for gifted New York City high school students, approached us to host more than 100 local students and teach them about our work and mission, we quickly accepted and together developed a program that would be interesting and informative.
