Handbook of Therapeutic Antibodies

Stefan Dubel got his PhD at the Center for Molecular Biology Heidelberg (ZMBH) and spent his post-doc at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) with research on the development of antibody display libraries. In the following years, he substantially participated in the invention of recombinant antibody phage display technology, as well as other recombinant antibody technologies and the development of various antibody fusion proteins. In 1996, he moved to the University of Heidelberg to establish the antibody engineering group at the Institute of Molecular Genetics. After holding a group leader position at the University of Heidelberg from 1996, Stefan Dubel went to the Biological Faculty of the Technical University of Braunschweig as a full professor in 2002. Here, he currently serves as head of the Department of Biotechnology in Braunschweig and managing director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology. He has co-authored more than 90 scientific papers, 17 patents, as well as two acknowledged textbooks in the field of recombinant antibodies. He is also board member of scientific journals and the biotech industry.
