Prof. Maarten Dewilde

 

welcomes you to the laboratory of

 

Therapeutic and Diagnostic Antibodies

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our laboratory focusses on the generation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies (Mabs), antibody derivatives, nanobodies and diabodies for application as either therapeutics, diagnostics or research tools.

Major research lines include:

  • Development of (human) monoclonal antibodies and any derivatives thereof for therapeutic and diagnostic applications
  • Development of a DNA-based delivery platform for the in vivo expression of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and derivatives
  • Development of novel technologies to deliver biologicals to the brain over the blood-brain barrier (BBB)
  • Unlocking solute carriers (SLC) as a novel therapeutic class.
 

Our laboratory is one of the founders of Pharmabs, a KU Leuven innovation, valorisation and incubation platform for the development of antibody-based therapeutics and diagnostics. Projects involve collaboration with other academic groups and with industry.
