A statistical mechanics model of the adaptive immune system : static and dynamical analysis in different connectivity regimes

In this thesis project, we model a sub-part of the adaptive immune system, composed of B and T lymphocytes, which interact to produce a suitable immune response against antigens. From a statistical mechanics perspective, this system can be modelled as a bipartite network with sparse links where the...
