The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub New York (CZ Biohub NY) brings together Columbia University, The Rockefeller University, and Yale University to create new technologies to characterize and bioengineer immune cells — with the ultimate goal of creating disease-specific "cellular endoscopes" that can detect early stages of disease in cells, monitor cell changes, and resolve diseases before they become untreatable.

Key Points: 
  • The CZ Biohub NY is the fourth research institute in the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Network , a groundbreaking collaborative model for scientific research.
  • The Network includes the first CZ Biohub, in San Francisco , a second in Chicago , and the Chan Zuckerberg Institute for Advanced Biological Imaging in Redwood City, California.

Developing a Robust Affinity Tag Platform Using Engineered Streptavidin, Upcoming Webinar Hosted by Xtalks

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, April 4, 2023

TORONTO, April 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The affinity chromatography technique is one of the most specific and therefore most efficient methods of purifying proteins. But protein-based affinity resins are usually more expensive due to more costly development and production. In order to reduce these costs, the resin must be reusable, and its longevity may be increased through efficient cleaning. Harsh clean-in-place (CIP) procedures, however, require that the resin be stable over a wide range of pH and temperature, as well as be compatible with various buffer conditions. These requirements have guided the further development of the Strep-tag technology — a new affinity tag system that takes advantage of the strong interaction between streptavidin and biotin.

Key Points: 
  • In this free webinar, learn about a robust affinity tag platform for protein purification and bioprocessing needs.
  • Attendees will learn how streptavidin was engineered into a robust and flexible affinity tag platform.
  • The featured speaker will discuss how a best-in-class tag-based protein tool can assist in a number of bioprocessing applications.
  • Register for this webinar to learn more about a robust affinity tag platform for protein purification and bioprocessing needs.
