Recombinant antibodies have become the most rapidly expanding class of human therapeutics. Our research is focused on the discovery, design, engineering and production of novel antibody-based therapeutics for immunotherapy of malignant tumors and viral diseases. The group employs technologies for generating humanized and fully human antibodies and has unique expertise in engineering tumor-targeting antibodies with properties that are essential to their successful clinical translation (i.e. low immunogenicity, specificity, high affinity, and biophysical stability).
