Personal profile
Biography
Scientist with 18 years of experience in the discovery of antibody and antibody-like scaffolds/proteins for Biotech and Biopharma industries. Throughout my career I have acquired expertise on the discovery processes of antibodies and antibody-like scaffolds using Phage Display technology to select lead candidates with desired characteristics using immune, naïve and synthetic libraries, high throughput screening techniques, assay development for candidate characterization, affinity maturation, antibody humanization, sequence optimization, formatting (Fc, multivalent, bispecific) among others.
