In the course of his PhD studies, Ole Aalund Mandrup carried out research into using bacterial viruses as a tool to find recombinant antibodies for use in the fight against cancer and other diseases. He focused particularly on antibodies that could be used in targeting medications for specific cells in the body.

In terms of design, Ole Aalund Mandrup also worked on optimising the methods that form a basis for using bacterial viruses as a tool for selecting specific antibodies.

The PhD degree was completed at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Science and Technology, Aarhus University.
