About

Johan Rockberg is a leading figure in antibody engineering and proteomics, whose work has fundamentally advanced how we map and understand antibody-antigen interactions. His research sits at the intersection of molecular biotechnology and high-throughput screening, with a major focus on developing tools for precise epitope characterization. Rockberg is best known for pioneering ultrahigh-density peptide microarrays, a breakthrough that enables the high-resolution mapping of linear antibody epitopes. His landmark 2012 paper on this subject, which has garnered over 200 citations, demonstrated how these dense arrays can establish antibody reactivity, reveal potential cross-reactivities, and even flag unintended off-target binding—critical insights for therapeutic antibody development and diagnostic applications. By providing a systematic, scalable method to decode the molecular details of antibody binding, Rockberg’s work has empowered researchers across immunology, vaccinology, and biopharmaceutical discovery. His contributions are not only technically innovative but also practically impactful, offering a robust platform for quality control and safety assessment in antibody-based technologies. For any student or researcher navigating the complexities of antibody specificity, Rockberg’s research represents a cornerstone of modern epitope mapping.
