Dr. Ivan Campeotto University of Nottingham, UK

Dr. Ivan Campeotto obtained his BSc and MSc in Industrial Biotechnology from the University of Padua (Italy) and a Wellcome PhD in structural biology from the University of Leeds (UK) before moving to King’s College London, Imperial College London and the University of Oxford, to apply a structural approach to... read morethe fields of enzyme engineering, bacteriology and parasitology, respectively.
His group currently focuses on structure-guided vaccine development in the fields of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) and emerging viruses with particular focus on Chagas disease.

His collaborators include parasitologists, virologists and immunologists from University of Nottingham, London School of Hygiene Tropical Medicine, University of Oxford, University of Copenhagen, University of Buenos Aires, Rosalind Franklin Institute and University of Cambridge. One of his main research streams lies in the design and production of immunogens from human and animal pathogens, for the generation of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), which are produced, isolated and tested for their diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Another research stream lies on the determination of antigen-antibody complexes, which are used to guide the design and development of vaccine prototypes via epitopes conjugation to engineered Virus-Like-Particles (VLPs), upon computational epitope crafting.
