Philipp Spycher MSc, PhD

Dr. Spycher is a PSI Founder Fellow at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) Villigen (Switzerland) since end of 2017 working on the site-specific modification of native antibodies. He studied at the University of Basel (Switzerland) Nanoscience and at ETH Zurich (Switzerland) Biomedical Engineering with a focus on drug delivery and targeting. During his doctoral studies at ETH Zurich, he worked on protein and materials engineering for the site-specific immobilization of proteins onto micro-patterned surfaces using enzymes. He then performed a post-doc at PSI Villigen on chemical and site-specific modification of antibodies and fragments for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Dr. Spycher has over 8 years of experience with ADCs and materials engineering, he is particularly interested in the development of improved drug delivery and targeting systems.
