Evobodies - (R)evolutionary against Zika & Co.

Molecular speed dating against pathogenes.
Evolution of viruses is a fast process because of their high mutation rate. Known viruses adapt to circumvent our immune system and new viruses arise rapidly. We want to equip scientists with a system, to get an edge on high mutation of viruses. The goal of our system is to generate binding proteins to a target (e.g. an envelope protein of Zika). These "Evobodies" could then be used for diagnostics and therapy against the virus. We realize our project under directed evolution in bacteria.
