Antibody Engineering: Foundations & Therapeutic Applications

Unlock the world of antibody engineering in this foundational course designed for students, researchers, and life science professionals. Whether you’re new to biotechnology or looking to solidify your understanding of antibody-based therapeutics, this course provides a structured, beginner-friendly introduction to one of the most powerful tools in modern medicine.

You will begin with the discovery and structural properties of antibodies and quickly move into revolutionary technologies like hybridoma systems, antibody display platforms (e.g., phage, mammalian and yeast display), and humanized antibody production using transgenic animals. I will explore how these engineered antibodies are reshaping therapeutic strategies in cancer, autoimmune disease, and infectious disease.

Dive deeper into cutting-edge antibody modalities, including bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and CAR-T cell therapy. These tools are transforming clinical outcomes for patients with previously untreatable diseases.

By the end, you will be equipped with the foundational knowledge to understand antibody therapeutics, contribute to research teams, or pursue more advanced training.

No prior experience in immunology is required—just curiosity and a passion for science and innovation.

What You will Learn:

• Basics of antibody structure and function
• How monoclonal antibodies are made using hybridomas
• How display systems revolutionized antibody selection
• The use of antibodies in diagnostics and therapy
• Mechanisms of bispecific antibodies and ADCs
• The role of antibodies in CAR-T cells and future applications
