Biomanufacturing Lab
The Biomanufacturing Laboratory has established capabilities for cloning and expressing foreign genes in microbial systems, pilot-scale fermentation, protein purification and analytical testing of biological molecules. The laboratory offers small-scale production of recombinant proteins for research and development on a contractual basis as well as basic and applied collaborative research projects. Established technologies include: Bacteria and yeast cell line development, propagation, and storage; Multiple biological vector systems for cloning and expressing foreign genes; Automated sterilize-in-place 10 liter fermentation; Filtration and chromatography equipment for product recovery and purification; Analytical instrumentation for the determination of product identity and purity.
