The immunogenicity of a biomolecule, and particularly how T cell receptors or NK cell receptors interact with human leukocyte antigens (HLA) presenting specific epitopes, is profoundly shaped by its structural characteristics. Understanding the relationship between molecular structure and dynamics of interactions should allow us to assess and predict the immunogenic potential of HLA-restricted peptides. By integrating structural and dynamic data with immunological outcomes, we aim to bridge the gap between molecular design and immune function.
Adnane Achour holds a Bachelor of Science degree in biophysical chemistry and a Master of Science in chemical engineering. He further advanced his academic career by earning a PhD in molecular immunology. Currently, he serves as a professor of molecular immunology, sharing his expertise and conducting research in this specialized field.
Moderation: Professor Dr. Mihaela Delcea

Organizational information
The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg is offering this event live as a zoom meeting in which viewers can participate in writing via chat.
- We would be pleased if you provided your clear name when dialing into Zoom. Of course, you can also take part in the event under a pseudonym.
- A list of all participants can be viewed by all those involved throughout the event.
- During the lecture, the microphones of the spectators are all automatically muted so that no disturbing background noise is generated. You are welcome to turn on the camera of the spectators during the lecture.
