Well-established protein production platforms at five Swedish u niversities collaborate to form the infrastructure and together they offer their combined expertise and competence as services within protein produc tion to the research community. PPS performs protein expression in six dif ferent expression systems (E. coli\, P. pastoris\, Insect cells (BEVS)\, P lant cells\, Mammalian cells and Cell-free expression)\, with protein puri fication and basic quality control being performed at all sites. \;PPS delivers proteins for many diverse research areas and technologies\, incl uding virus-related research and experiments using X-ray and neutron-sourc es\, based on the needs of the researchers and the planned experiments.Res earchers can easily get access to PPS’ services via a joint web-portal\, and support is offered through the whole process of protein production an d purification\, starting from project counselling and design to quality c ontrol\, or for any single/multiple step(s) in the process\, according to the scheme below. \;PPS is a broad state-of-the-art protein production and purification infrastructure. In its first four years\, 2022-2025\, mo re than 1300 protein batches were delivered to numerous research projects. In this webinar\, PPS’ director will present the services available and how to access them\, followed by some examples of virus-related proteins that the infrastructure has produced so far.For more information\, please visit: www.pps.gu.seBiographyMalin Bäckström received her first degree i n biochemistry and her PhD in medical microbiology\, working with vaccine research\, from University of Gothenburg. After a short post-doc in Cambri dge\, UK\, she worked for many years in the mucin biology group at the Uni versity of Gothenburg\, focusing on the production of these large\, comple x\, and highly glycosylated proteins. In parallel\, her group started the Mammalian Protein Expression (MPE) core facility for protein production in mammalian cells\, and since 2015 she has focused on helping other researc hers obtain the proteins they need for their research. Since 2022\, MPE ha s joined forces with other Swedish protein production platforms and receiv ed joint funding from the Swedish Research Council to create the national infrastructure Protein Production Sweden (PPS)\, for which she is now Dire ctor.RegistrationRegister on the LINXS websiteThis seminar is organised by LINXS Institute of advanced Neutron and X-ray Science.Read more about LIN XS at linxs.se\n\nMer information om händelsen: https://www.medicin.lu.se /evenemang/protein-production-sweden-malin-backstrom-panda-webinar-series DTSTART;TZID=GMT:20260826T130000 DTEND;TZID=GMT:20260826T143000 LOCATION:Zoom END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
