The consortium of researchers will, for the first time, comprehensively chart the supervision of specific proteins within the cell, from cradle to grave.
By modifying and boosting lab equipment, a team of chemists are able to measure individual molecules with unprecedented precision. Their massive resolution upgrading will benefit the fabrication of vaccines and molecular vectors used in gene therapy.
Utrecht University has appointed Christian Kaiser as professor of Biophysical Chemistry of Membranes and Proteins. Kaiser and his team will explore the way biological proteins are produced, processed and transported in the cell.
