Dr. Robert Pejchal, PhDVice President, Antibody Engineering at AdimabSpeaker
Profile
Dr. Pejchal received his PhD from University of Michigan Ann Arbor in protein crystallography. He then did a postdoc at The Scripps Research Institute where he studied broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibodies, solved crystal structures of such antibodies bound to viral envelope glycoproteins and peptide antigens. After taking a scientist position at Adimab LLC, his focus on antibody engineering blossomed into a bispecific antibody discovery and optimization and cell selection approaches for membrane protein targets. Currently, as VP of Antibody Engineering, his work on bispecifics and membrane protein targets continues alongside platform optimization, antibody format research and development, and developability.
