dr. Marie Deventer (PhD)
Postdoctoral researcher – Biopharmaceutical Technology Unit, Department of Pharmaceutics (UGent)
Principal investigator: prof. Bruno G. De Geest (PhD)
Research focus
My research focuses on the development of T cell engagers in the context of the treatment of solid tumors. These T-cell engagers are antibody-based molecules and can form a bridge between tumor cells and T cells, allowing T cell-mediated toxicity to be unleashed on the tumor. This work aims at designing next-generation T cell engagers which combine improved safety with enhanced efficacy, potentially paving the way for achieving more durable therapeutic benefit.
