Edzard Spillner

Edzard Spillner is a Professor at the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering Medical Biotechnology at Aarhus University. His research focuses on allergology, immunology, and antibody engineering, with applications in diagnostics and therapeutic development. He specializes in nanobody engineering, molecular targeting of allergens, and the structural analysis of antibodies involved in immune responses.

Key research interests include the design of antibodies for Hymenoptera venom allergy, the role of modified N-glycans in T H 2 responses, and the development of bispecific antibodies for cancer therapy. His work bridges fundamental molecular biology with clinical applications, aiming to address unmet needs in allergy management and targeted cancer treatments.

Selected publications highlight advancements in nanobody-based tools for allergen detection, structural insights into IgE epitopes, and the potential of engineered antibodies against tumor antigens. Current projects include the structural-functional characterization of anaphylactic IgE antibodies targeting the alpha-Gal epitope, with implications for allergy diagnosis and therapy.
