Sachdev Sidhu PhD

Sachdev Sidhu obtained his Ph.D. in 1996, and following a postdoctoral fellowship with James Wells at Genentech, he joined the Protein Engineering department as a principal investigator in 1998. In 2008, he moved to the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. Dr. Sidhu’s research focuses on the use of combinatorial biology methods to explore protein structure and function, and his group is currently developing synthetic antibody libraries and other scaffolds as sources of potential therapeutics. In 2015, Dr. Sidhu received the Christian B. Anfinsen Award of the Protein Society for significant technological achievements in protein research.
