How personalised is your immune repertoire: learning rules in a self-organised mess

Immune repertoires provide a unique fingerprint reflecting the immune history of individuals, with potential applications in precision medicine. Can this information be used to identify a person uniquely? I will show how statistical analysis of immune repertoires sequencing experiments can answer these questions. I will then attempt to connect data to phenotypic models of evolution. This approach allows us to see how the evolution of pathogens is constrained by selection pressures coming from immune systems.
