About the Research
The Ario de Marco group specialises in scalable nanobody production, focusing on efficient microbial expression systems and robust purification protocols. They have developed and refined phage display selection strategies to isolate high-affinity binders, often integrating deep sequencing to monitor selection dynamics and improve target coverage.
