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 Nicola D'Amelio Lab
The D’Amelio Lab is part of the Enzyme and Cell Engineering Unit, UMR 7025 CNRS, with active sites at Université de Picardie Jules Verne, UPJV, in Amiens and Université de Technologie de Compiègne, UTC, in Compiègne, France. Co-directed by Professors Karsten Haupt, Bérangère Avalle, and Catherine Sarazin, the lab is led by Professor Nicola D’Amelio and is internationally recognized for its work in structural biology, biomedicine, and peptide engineering.
Professor D’Amelio’s team is at the forefront of peptide-based research targeting antimicrobial resistance, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. Their ADAPTABLE platform—an interactive database of antimicrobial peptides—guides the rational design of therapeutic peptides, while ongoing projects explore peptide interference in cancer signaling, microbiome-based delivery systems, and blood-brain barrier-penetrating therapeutics for Alzheimer’s.
