Immunology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the immune system, which defends the body against infectious agents and foreign substances. It comprises various aspects, including the structure and function of the immune system, mechanisms of immune response, and the body's ability to recognize and eliminate pathogens. Computational approaches to immunology harness the power of computational models, simulations, and data analysis to unravel complex immune system dynamics. These methods are crucial in understanding immune responses, predicting disease progression, and designing vaccines or therapies. By integrating data from genomics, proteomics, and systems biology, computational immunology enables the modeling of immune processes at molecular, cellular and systemic levels. Techniques like machine learning, network analysis, and agent-based modeling help in identifying potential drug targets, understanding immune system behaviour, and predicting patient-specific responses. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed immunology and aided its advancement. The various technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this book. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets both students and professionals.
