2025 IEDB Virtual User Workshop Presentations

IEDB User Workshops
1

Our team holds an annual user workshop where we invite those new to the IEDB and experienced users who want to better understand and utilize this resource. The workshop is a great opportunity to learn about all the features of the IEDB database and tools, and to get hands-on individual support on how it can answer your research questions.

Following the success of the virtual user workshops beginning in 2020, the IEDB hosted a 3-day virtual workshop in 2025. Day 1 covered an overview of the IEDB structure and content, as well as an overview of the Analysis Resource, application programming interface (API), and newly redesigned solutions center. Day 2 explored the Next-Generation Tools and Analysis Resource and receptor data within the IEDB, and day 3 covered the Cancer Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (CEDAR) and HIV resources.

Dates: Tuesday, Nov. 18 - Thursday, Nov. 20, 2025

Time: 8:00am to 12:00pm (Pacific Time)

This workshop was free of charge and was delivered virtually via Zoom Webinar. The available reference materials from the 2025 virtual event are outlined below.
