Title:
PhD in development of multi-specific protein therapeutics
Research area and project description:
A large number of diseases is caused by pathogenic molecules upon encounter of the human body via the airways, skin or intestine. Severe reactions including anaphylaxis represent life threatening conditions in patients, which are specifically susceptible, e.g. due to allergic sensitization. This ambitious and interdisciplinary project will establish novel and unorthodox treatment strategies based on bi- and multi-specific molecular engagers that enable efficient trapping of culprit antigens and thereby interfering with severity and course of disease.
The candidate will be part of the Immunological Biotechnology group in the Section of Medical Biotechnology and focus on the development of novel ligands and establish, produce, characterise, evolve and analyse multi-specific, multi-modal molecules based on immunoglobulin scaffolds. Functional and structural characterisation will be performed as foundation for further development.
