Getofte, Denmark

Competitive binding studies using whole a cell strategy.Work on protein signalling by using the NanoPro1000: state-of-the-art technology of combining isoelectric focusing of proteins with western blotting technology.

Gentofte, Denmark

Competitive binding studies using whole a cell strategy.Work on protein expression, purification and characterization using a 2-step purification protocol combined with enzymatic digestion, RP-HPLC and SELDI-TOF.Work on protein signalling by using state-of-the-art technology on isoelectric focusing of proteins combined with classic western blotting in the Firefly and the NanoPro1000 from ProteinSimple. Both instruments were set up by me for further assay development.
