This Colloquium will explore the potential of systems biology for HIV vaccine design. Participants will include HIV researchers and scientists using systems approaches in other areas of biomedical research. During the course of the meeting we will address how systems biology has provided insight into the immune response and into other areas of medicine, such as cancer and autoimmunity. Experts will also discuss the technical and bioinformatic challenges associated with using systems biology approaches. The HIV researchers will discuss the gaps in HIV immunology that need to be resolved in order to develop an HIV vaccine, and we will explore whether systems approaches can help to address these questions and how 'systems vaccinology' approaches can be implemented in HIV vaccine development and clinical trial monitoring.
