The specific goals are 1. To review and finalise the selection of relevant target antigens; 2. To apply the rational antibody discovery approach to design novel antibodies against these antigens; 3. To express and purify the novel antibodies and test their affinity and specificity for their targets.
The project will form part of an EC Marie Sklodowska-Curie European Training Network (Bio2Brain), which unites 11 academic teams, five key industry stakeholders and a non-profit educational organisation from across Europe. Although based in Cambridge, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to collaborate with different network members dying secondments, yearly summer schools and attendance at international meetings.
