A Readily Applicable Framework for Novel Drug Design It is only 20 years since the reach of genetic knowledge has allowed for the development of protein biotherapeutics, but in that time the pace has been fast. While the literature abounds, the field has lacked a comprehensive accounting of this progress. Emerging Protein Biotherapeutics consolidates current knowledge of key protein... Read more

Biography

Iqbal S. Grewal, Ph.D., is a well-established scientist and biotechnologist with many years of research in immunology and oncology. He has extensive experience in the discovery and development of innovative protein-based biotherapeutics in many disease areas. Some of Dr. Grewal’s findings have already helped to translate research into key drug candidates for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancers. Currently, he is serving as Vice President of Preclinical Therapeutics at Seattle Genetics and leading preclinical research for the development of monoclonal antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates as therapeutics in the areas of autoimmunity and oncology.
