Follow on Google News | Wyatt Technology Instrumentation Used by Medical Research Council to Perform Breakthrough ResearchThe research will investigate advancements into human health and disease
By: Wyatt Technology The research institute adopted light scattering instrumentation as part of its goal to equip its facilities with cutting-edge tools for research and thereby use the knowledge obtained to tackle specific problems in human health and disease, such asimmunity to the common cold, AIDS, 'winter vomiting' and gastroenteritis. The research extends from structural studies of individual macromolecules through their interactions and beyond to the functioning of subcellular systems, cells and multicellular systems in whole organisms Simple parameters measured on molecules in solution are often fundamental to any structural biology initiative. At the MRC, scientists are working to advance the understanding of biological processes at the molecular level, providing the knowledge needed to solve key problems in human health. Light scattering techniques comprise a robust toolkit for comprehensive characterization of aggregation phenomena in protein formulations, which can be utilized to help advance research into disease.Multi- Dr. Chris Johnson, Senior Investigator Scientist at the LMB explains: “After viewing a demonstration of Wyatt Technology size exclusion chromatography- The technology, which includes the Wyatt’s Eclipse FFF system, Optilab online refractive index (RI) detector and DAWN HELEOS with online DLS,is based in the biophysics facilities, which support and collaborate in breakthrough research to solve unanswered questions in structural biology. This research can lead to potential applications in human health, requiring high quality instrumentation.
