Automated Peptide Synthesis
In this sponsored content by Gyros Protein Technologies, discover how automated systems revolutionize peptide production with enhanced efficiency and reproducibility.
The evolution from manual to automated solid-phase peptide synthesis, SPPS, has transformed research workflows, significantly reducing human error while enabling walk-away operations and parallel processing capabilities.
Advanced features like microfluidic design, induction heating, and real-time UV monitoring create optimal conditions even for challenging sequences, substantially improving yield and purity. This article shows you how to harness these innovations for your peptide research needs.
The Wenshe Liu Lab
The Wenshe Liu Lab at Texas A&M University applies cutting-edge chemical biology techniques to advance drug discovery. Our work spans a broad spectrum, from cell biology and target identification to traditional medicinal chemistry. The lab operates across two Texas A&M campuses: one within the Department of Chemistry in College Station and the other at the Institute of Biosciences and Technology in Houston.
We foster a collaborative research environment that brings together scientists from diverse backgrounds. The lab currently includes 10 postdoctoral research associates and 18 graduate students representing 10 countries, all mentored by Professor Wenshe Liu. In addition to leading the lab, Wenshe serves as Director of the Texas A&M Drug Discovery Center, with Professor J. Trae Hampton as Manager.
Stay tuned for more lab features, and don’t miss the chance to get your lab featured!
