The Protein Expertise Platform – a Core Facility at the KBC and a node of PPS
October 18 @ 12:00 – 13:00 CEST
In the frame of the “SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series”, the seminars will be organised every second Tuesday during autumn 2022. The seminars will be held in a hybrid format IRL in Glasburen, KBC, and online via Zoom. Take the chance to get information on facilities, possibilities and services that infrastructure, both SciLifeLab-associated and local, can offer!

On October 18th, 12:00-13:00, you are welcome to participate in the seminar
The Protein Expertise Platform – a Core Facility at the KBC and a node of PPS
by Uwe Sauer, Associate professor, PEP coordinator, Department of Chemistry, Umeå University
Seminar description: Proteins play a central role for most cellular processes. In order to study such processes, Swedish Life-Science researchers rely on high-quality protein reagents for their research. At the Protein Expertise Platform (PEP) at the Dept. of Chemistry and the KBC, we work with the custom production of recombinant proteins in E. coli and plant cell suspensions. We have teamed up with six other Swedish protein production platforms and, since 2022, are part of Protein Production Sweden (PPS), a national research infrastructure for protein production (www.gu.se/pps) funded by VR and the local Universities. PPS provides expert competence in a variety of expression systems, including E. coli, insect cells, P. pastoris, plant cells and cell-free translation. The PPS nodes collaborate in the form of a national distributed research infrastructure and provide expertise in gene and vector design, production and purification of the proteins, as well as methods for quality control. PPS can also produce proteins with different labels.
Researchers can apply for project support through a common application portal found on the PPS website.
