Research

The Protein Chemistry/Proteomics and Peptide Synthesis and - Array Unit is devided into six activity areas:

1) We provide Services and Education on basic Protein Chemistry, Proteomics, Peptide Synthesis and Peptide- and Protein Array technology. See also Courses and seminars.

2) We develop methods and instrumentation for to be used in modern Protein Chemistry/Proteomics. This task includes development of micro-chip based analytical devices for Proteomic research and diagnosis.

3) We develop methods and instrumentation for to be used in Peptide- and Protein Array technology. This task includes development of chip based Arrays of synthetic peptides and purified proteins for research and diagnosis.

4) We develop nanosurfaces for to be used in biomolecular analysis and clinical diagnosis.

5) We do research on protein misfolding: As study interests CADASIL disease with Notch3 defect, several types of amyloidoses with hereditary and non-hereditary variants of protein misfolding, and other model proteins for amyloidogenic and non-amyloidogenic misfolding e.g. HMG1, SH3, ApoE, cystatins and prions.

6) We do research on viral epitope mapping and characterization thereof.

In addition we search for new Biomarkers in several clinical conditions and validate and characterize the lead molecules. We also conduct Proteomic studies on various diseases and clinical stages thereof.
