Discovery and Engineering Nanobodies for applications in Structural Biology, Molecular Pharmacology and Drug Discovery
- We apply Nanobodies in X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM, aiming at the highest hanging fruits in structural biology.
- We engineer Nanobodies for applications in biotechnology, molecular pharmacology and drug discovery.
- We explore new modes of therapeutic intervention and develop first-in-class drugs.
- We are experts in antibody engineering but work closely with top scientists globally to address important biological questions and develop innovative applications.
