Presentation
Date: Tuesday, 11 June, 2019
Time: 09:30 – 13:00
Place: Fèlix Serratosa, Parc Cientific de Barcelona (PCB)
This short workshop will describe many aspects of heterologous expression in E.coli, from choice of construct design through to methods to improve the levels of soluble expression and options for co-expression. In addition, it will also address expression in eukaryotic hosts, including secreted proteins and ECDs, and options for co-expression.
The workshop will finish with a discussion and problem-solving session using examples brought along by the attendees*.
To register, please send and email to leyre.caracuel@irbbarcelona.org by June 5, 2019.
