Lecture of Dr. Zhongyue Yang
We were happy to welcome Zhongyue John Yang, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Vanderbilt University, USA, to Loschmidt Laboratories! Our guest’s research focuses on intelligent protein engineering and understanding the dynamic nature of fundamental chemical processes. These are topics closely aligned with the research interests of our group. In front of the whole team, John […]
Brazilian Patent for FGF2-STAB
Masaryk University and Enantis have been granted the Brazilian patent for FGF2-STAB—a genetically engineered fibroblast growth factor 2! This thermostable molecule, created through protein engineering, provides a novel approach to growing FGF2-dependent cell cultures more efficiently, requiring fewer media changes. FGF2-STAB is a game-changer because it helps maintain cells in the pluripotent state. This makes […]
