Core Laboratories
We drive innovation in protein design by bringing all aspects of protein and peptide production, characterization and process development under one roof. From lab-scale expression to cGMP-compatible manufacturing, the Institute for Protein Design’s Core Labs support the ongoing work of our faculty, trainees and collaborators. These services are not available for external contract work.
