Role of artificial intelligence in advancing immunology.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various biomedical fields, particularly immunology, by enhancing vaccine development, immunotherapies, and allergy treatments. AI helps identify potential vaccine candidates and predict how the body reacts to different antigens based on a vast number of genomic sequences and protein structures. AI can help cancer patients by analyzing their data and offering personalized immunotherapies. AI has also advanced the field of allergy by identifying potential allergens and predicting allergic reactions based on patient genetic and environmental factors. AI could also help diagnose multiple immunological diseases, including autoimmune diseases and immunodeficiencies, by analyzing patient history and laboratory results. AI has deepened our understanding of the human genome by providing numerous amounts of data from DNA sequences previously believed to be nonfunctional. Through machine learning and deep learning, many laborious research tasks, such as screening for DNA mutations, can be efficiently performed in a short amount of time. AI and machine learning are significantly advancing biomedical science in significant areas, including research and industry. This review discusses the latest AI-based tools that can be utilized in the field of immunology. AI tools significantly advance the field of medical research and healthcare by enabling new scientific discoveries and facilitating rapid clinical diagnosis.
