Some more on the speaker:
Since his PhD, he has been working on cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in colon cancer progression (De Wever et al., FASEBJ 2004, J Pathol 2003, J Cell Science 2004 over 1000 cumulative WOS citations). I He expanded his research into adipose tissue during his post-doc (Lapeire et al., Cancer Res 2014) and the secretory mechanisms of pro-metastatic signals (Hendrix et al., JNCI 2010, Cancer Res 2010). His current lab woks on tumor-environment interactions including design of model systems (De Jaeghere et al., Biomaterials 2018), response to therapy of CAFs (Tommelein et al., Cancer Res 2018), and exploitation of CAFs as therapy (De Vlieghere et al., Biomaterials 2015) and extracellular vesicles with the Hendrix lab (De Wever and Hendrix EMBOJ 2019).

"Research in Dr Kruse's lab aims to elucidate the molecular basis of transmembrane signaling through the use of biochemistry, pharmacological studies, and structural biology. He is particularly interested in signaling pathways with connections to human health and disease, including G protein-coupled receptors and other transmembrane receptors. In the long term, he aims to leverage a detailed molecular understanding of these pathways to facilitate the development of new and better therapeutics."

Professors Sally Ward and Raimund Ober have recently relocated their research group from the USA to Southampton. Their interdisciplinary research program is dedicated to the use of protein engineering to develop novel antibody-based therapeutics.
The identification in the Ward/Ober laboratory of the Fc receptor, FcRn, as a regulator of IgG levels and transport has resulted in significant interest in targeting FcRn in biopharma. Extensive analyses of FcRn behaviour, including subcellular trafficking studies, have led to collaborations with biopharma to develop several therapeutics that are based on modulating the interactions of IgG with FcRn. For example, one such therapeutic (Efgartigimod) that inhibits FcRn activity has been developed in collaboration with Argenx, and has recently been successfully used in phase 3 trials to treat antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases.
"The presentation will cover how a combination of antibody engineering, fluorescence microscopy and mouse disease models have been used to inform the design of therapeutics to modulate the dynamic behavior of antibodies for the treatment of autoimmunity. In particular, the targeting of the MHC Class I-related receptor, FcRn, that recycles and transports IgG to maintain IgG homeostasis will be discussed. The generation of engineered antibody-drug conjugates that are designed to deliver their cytotoxic payload more efficiently to tumor cells will also be presented"
