The lecture presents the topic of therapeutic proteins as a new branch of biopharmaceuticals, gaining growing interest as a tool in diagnostics and treatment of cancer, hormonal disorders, and vaccination. It deals mainly with modern techniques of recombinant protein expression (including practical tips) and gives an overview of structural and functional classes of protein therapeutics with special regard to new and alternative protein binding scaffolds. A separate chapter is devoted to protein modification, conjugation, and administration issues.
A special interest is given to practical examples - each lecture contains, besides the part from the main topic, a part describing one example of a therapeutically used protein, with a review of its research, development, and current usage. Lectures are delivered in English. Depending on the number of students enrolled, the course can be arranged as lectures or in another way (colloquium, consultations).
