Carlos F. Barbas III (5 November 1964 – 24 June 2014) was chair professor of the Janet and Keith Kellogg II and a chemist at the Scripps Research Institute.

After a few years, Barbas cultivated interests in physics and chemistry subjects and graduated from Eckerd College with honors.

The phage display is the most straightforward technique to study the interactions between various forms of proteins with the virus infected bacteria.

[3] Barbas and his co-workers at Scripps invented antibody-drug conjugates to help create new therapies which can target on specific cell types.

[3] These antibodies are programmed with chemical methods and specialized in treatments of chronic illnesses due to its ability to target on particular sites accurately.

He found the similarity between the Hajos-Eder-Sauer-Wiechert reaction and the mechanical canalization function happened in the aldolase antibodies and research on the difference between the efficiency.
