Dr. Bhupal Ban, Director of the Antibody Engineering and Technology Core awarded the “Outstanding Core of the Year”

The Antibody Engineering and Technology Core (AbET) directed by Cell Biology faculty member, Dr. Bhupal Ban along with Faculty Director, Tim Bullock, Ph.D. and staffed by Sally Adams and Donna Adams was awarded the “Outstanding Core of the Year” 2016 recognition.  It was noted that the core under Dr. Ban’s leadership has undergone an incredible transformation moving beyond the production of monoclonal antibodies to making recombinant antibodies, humanizing antibodies and general protein recombinant expression.  Progress is also under way to secure libraries for antibody production as well.  It is expected that these advances will position the core to support developing translational projects among the SoM faculty.
