Abstract

The development of personalized cancer vaccines represents a promising frontier in oncology, yet traditional approaches struggle with the complexity and volume of multi-omics data. This study addresses this challenge by introducing an AI-assisted framework for the design of personalized vaccines. The primary objective was to leverage machine learning models to identify and prioritize neoantigens from integrated genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data of cancer patients. The methodology involved a deep learning pipeline to analyze multi-omics datasets, predicting tumor-specific mutations and their immunogenicity. This was followed by an algorithm to select the most potent neoantigen peptides for vaccine formulation, optimizing for both MHC binding affinity and T-cell activation potential. Our results demonstrate that the AI-driven approach significantly improved the speed and accuracy of neoantigen identification compared to conventional methods. The framework successfully predicted a set of high-quality vaccine candidates for individual patients, which showed strong in silico binding to patient-specific MHC molecules. We conclude that this AI-assisted methodology provides a powerful and scalable solution for personalized vaccine design, accelerating the translation of multi-omics data into clinically actionable immunotherapies.

Abstract

Social forestry programs are globally promoted as a key strategy, but their equitable outcomes are critical. Indonesia's ambitious social forestry agenda aims to reallocate millions of hectares, prompting this research to critically analyze benefit-sharing mechanisms across key schemes (Hutan Desa, HKm, Hutan Adat). The objective was to evaluate their effectiveness in promoting social justice and community livelihoods. This study employed a qualitative, multi-site case study approach, utilizing 120 interviews and policy analysis through a social justice framework. The findings reveal a significant gap between policy goals and reality: while land tenure improved, benefits often fail to be equitably distributed, being captured by local elites and marginalizing vulnerable groups. Furthermore, procedural justice remains weak due to limited community participation in decision-making. The novelty lies in this critical, justice-focused evaluation of Indonesia's national program. The implication is that for Indonesia's social forestry to succeed, a fundamental redesign of benefit-sharing mechanisms is required. Policy must explicitly embed distributive, procedural, and recognitional justice principles to ensure meaningful livelihood improvements for the poorest and most marginalized community members.
