Stochasticity, chance and probability govern our world, nowhere more so than in the immune system, where the very receptors which are the basis of adaptive immunity are the product of random reassortment of short stretches of DNA.

Yet out of this randomness and apparent chaos emerges the extraordinary design.

Discovering how order emerges from chance was the driving force of Nir’s tragically short, but extraordinarily productive scientific career, which we will celebrate with this symposium in his memory.
