Biotherapies Laboratory

People in charge

El Laboratorio de Bioterapias está especializado en el desarrollo de péptidos y proteínas, especialmente anticuerpos, con aplicaciones biomédicas.

Equipment and technologies

This laboratory conducts R+D+i and technology transfer activities by combining chemistry and synthetic biology to contribute to the generation of new biotherapies.

  • Development of peptides and proteins for biomedical applications.
  • Antibody engineering and chemistry to generate bispecifics, antibody-drug conjugates, and conditionally-active biologics.
  • Identification of new functional peptides and proteins combining library selections and directed evolution and rational design.
  • Study and engineering of transport systems to cross the blood-brain barrier.
  • Development of bio- and nano- therapeutics, especially for cancer treatment.
Equipment and technologies
  • Automated microwave-assisted peptide synthesizer Liberty Blue™ 2.0.
  • FPLC BioRad NGC Quest 10 for protein purification
  • Agilent 6230 UHPLC-UV-MS time-of-flight (TOF) liquid chromatograph for the characterization of intact proteins and other biomolecules
  • Other equipment for peptide and protein development: microvolume spectrophotometer, thermocycler, thermostated incubators, laminar flow hood, chemical hoods, thermostated centrifuges and an adjoining cell culture room
  • Preparative HPLC Agilent Infinity II 1260 for peptide purification
  • ChemiDoc MP imaging system with UV, visible, fluorescence and chemiluminescence detection
  • Octet® R2 biolayer interferometry (BLI) system for measuring biomolecule interactions
