Synonyms

Computational immunology
Definitions

Immunoinformatics is the field of computational biology that deals with the study of immunoloogical questions. Immunoinformatics is at the interface between immunology and computer science. It takes advantage of computational, statistical, mathematical approaches and enhances the understanding of immunological knowledge. This involves the study of often complex genetic traits underlying diseases involving defects in the immune system. For example, identifying target genes for therapeutic approaches, or genetic variations involved in immunological pathology.
