This training event will explore strategies for producing high-quality, pure, and homogenous recombinant proteins—essential for both structural and functional studies. Aimed at early career researchers, this introductory session is the first in a series of three protein-focused training events organised by the Biochemical Society.
It will cover:
- The latest bioinformatic tools for construct design and protein characterisation
- Practical tips to improve expression, purification, and stability
- Methods for assessing protein quality using biophysical techniques
This training will have a high level of participation including:
- Participants are encouraged to bring their own proteins for analysis using the latest instrumentation and software.
- Poster presentations and oral communications are available at this event. You may simply present your project background with preliminary results or troubleshoot specific protein-related challenges to get feedback from with experts and peers.

Key learning objectives:
- To demonstrate knowledge of the full pathway of protein construct design, expression, purification, and characterisation
- To describe the principles and applications of bioinformatic and biophysical approaches to their research, and to have the opportunity to collect and analyse data on their protein of interest
- To understand how to optimise and evaluate protein expression and purification
