Huge thanks to my partners in crime — Rafael Fissore, @virginiasavy.bsky.social and Shweta Bhagwat — it’s been a real pleasure to shape this program with you over the course of the past two years.

Very much looking forward to reconnecting with old colleagues and meeting new ones!

Together with the first structural information on a monoclonal antibody bound to a key female #fertilization protein, this paves the way to the development of targeted non-hormonal #contraceptives

Here we show that a ScFV fragment of IE-3 is sufficient to block #fertilization in vitro, avoiding potential Fc-associated side effects
