About
Dr. Hena Khalique is a pioneering researcher in antibody engineering and membrane protein biology, whose work addresses a critical bottleneck in biomedical research: the difficulty of generating high-quality antibodies against membrane proteins in their native conformations. Her most cited paper, "Development of a novel mammalian display system for selection of antibodies against membrane proteins" (2020, 31 citations), introduces a groundbreaking platform that enables the discovery of reliable, specific polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies directly against membrane proteins in their native cellular environment. This innovation overcomes the limitations of traditional methods that rely on purified, often denatured protein targets. Dr. Khalique’s system has significant implications for both basic research and therapeutic development, as membrane proteins are key drug targets and biomarkers. Her work is widely recognized for its technical sophistication and practical impact, providing a powerful tool for the scientific community. By enabling the selection of antibodies that recognize native epitopes, Dr. Khalique has advanced the field of antibody discovery, offering new avenues for studying membrane protein function and developing targeted therapies.
