Common questions about Immunoinformatics

What does Immunoinformatics mean in medicine?
The interface between INFORMATICS and IMMUNOLOGY. Otherwise known as computational immunology, it is the use of computational methods and resources for studying IMMUNE SYSTEM PHENOMENA. This definition is taken from the National Library of Medicine's MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) 2026 release, which is the standard vocabulary used to index PubMed and most medical literature.
Is Immunoinformatics known by any other names?
Yes. Immunoinformatics is also referred to as Computational Immunology, Immunology, Computational, Systems Immunology, Immunology, Systems in different clinical, research and patient-facing contexts. The MeSH descriptor groups all of these synonyms under a single canonical concept so research and records stay consistent.
Where does Immunoinformatics sit in the medical classification?
Immunoinformatics falls under the broader medical category "Disciplines and Occupations" in the MeSH hierarchy (tree numbers: H01.158.273.180.475, H02.403.044.750, L01.313.124.250). Browsing the related concepts on this page takes you to neighbouring topics in the same branch of medicine.
