Speaker: Andreas Plückthun, Ph.D., is a Professor of Biochemistry and Director of the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. His research is centered on protein engineering. His contributions have included many aspects of antibody engineering, protein expression technology, design of synthetic antibody libraries, the development of ribosome display as an in vitro protein evolution technology, development of new scaffolds (the DARPin technology), and recently the directed evolution of G-protein coupled receptors towards high stability, which has allowed determination of their crystal structures.
Dr. Simon Goodman moderates this webinar series.
