Bioanalytical Research

General Support for Biological Research:
We continuously supported biological research at the EMBL and outside according to our capacity.
Examples: 

    •    quantitative profiling of sarcomere associated proteins in limp and extraocular muscle (slide 10) [1, 2]

    •    studying the splicing mechanism by protein complex purification and sequencing at different stages of the splicing process [3]

    •    Nup155’s role in nuclear envelope and nuclear pore formation [4]

Proteomics Visitor Laboratory:

In 2001 we spent a considerable amount of time to establish the proteomics visitor laboratory sponsored by Waters and Biorad (slide 1-9). This visitor laboratory evolved into EMBL’s proteomics core facility. 

Spin-Off Companies:

Two spin-off companies are directly related to main projects of our group, Protana, which later split off Proxeon, and CellZome.
