Overview
Display technologies, such as phage display, bacterial display, cell surface display, and mRNA display, have revolutionized the field of antibody engineering and therapeutic antibody discovery. These technologies enable the identification of high-affinity, specific binders for various targets.
Nanobodies, the smallest functional antibody fragments derived from camelid heavy-chain-only antibodies, are ideal for diagnostics, therapeutics, and biosensing application due to their small size, stability, and solubility. Learn more with this Identification and Characterization of Target-Specific Nanobodies Using Display Selection Platforms (Internship) project from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) .
