At TWINCORE, Centre for Experimental and Clinical Infection Research, clinician scientists and basic researchers from various disciplines conduct infection research side by side. Our focus is on translational research at the interface between basic research and clinical development. Beyond neutralization, antibodies can elicit an armory of additional Fc dependent innate effector functions. Emerging data points to the importance of these effector functions for antibody mediated control of viral infections like HIV, SARS-CoV-2 or RSV. One major goal of our group "Anti-Viral Antibody-omics" at the Institute for Experimental Infection Research is to characterize protective antibody responses in humans. Furthermore, we aim to develop novel, improved antibody based anti-viral therapies.
