Research interests

My passion is to combat bacterial and viral infectious diseases with 21st-century biologicals. The main focus resides on recombinant antibodies produced from our extremely diverse phage display libraries of human antibodies, and by exploring the vast new possibilities offered by genetic engineering today that enable to fight pathogens with molecular structures from our own bodies in ways that exceed the capabilities of our immune system. Recent examples are the development of anti-Staphylococcus aureus coagulase antibodies or the development of an Fc-silenced antibody against the pandemic virus SARS-CoV-2 that reached clinical use in very short time.
