Immunity by Design

From Cells to Systems Through Human and Machine Intelligence

Conversations exploring how immunology is being reshaped by data, artificial intelligence, and systems thinking.

Immunity by Design examines the ongoing transformation of immunology in the age of data and artificial intelligence.

Advances in experimental technologies and AI are not only accelerating discovery—they are changing how we think, how we design experiments, and how we build understanding.

Hosted by Professor Hashem Koohy (University of Oxford), the series brings together scientists, technologists, and innovators working at the interface of biology and computation.

Episodes explore a range of themes, including:

• Technologies that are redefining how biological data is generated

• AI and computational approaches that reshape how insight is extracted

• New immunological questions emerging from high-dimensional data

• How the pathway from idea to impact is evolving in modern science

Beyond results, the focus is on how knowledge is constructed—from experimental design to mechanistic reasoning and interpretable models.

The series also reflects on positive research culture—interdisciplinary collaboration, scientific mindset, and the challenges and opportunities of working at the interface of biology, data, and technology.

The podcast is designed to be accessible to a broad audience, particularly PhD students and early-career researchers, as well as anyone interested in how AI and emerging technologies are reshaping life sciences.
