New foundation model proposed for patient-specific cancer immunotherapy

Researchers propose a patient-specific immunology foundation model to address the computational bottleneck in cancer immunotherapy. This multimodal model aims to integrate various biological data, including tumor mutations, transcriptomics, HLA genotype, and T-cell receptor repertoire, to predict neoantigens more effectively. Unlike current methods that tackle individual prediction tasks, this proposed model would learn the complete biological pathway from tumor genotype to immune recognition, providing a ranked set of candidate neoantigens with calibrated confidence and biological evidence.
