Bachelor studies
Invitation to join Diploma laboratory
We invite you to check the scope of Bachelor theses in the Laboratory of Bionanotechnology.
As part of the laboratory classes of the Diploma Laboratory, you will learn genetic engineering techniques and basic methods of isolation of recombinant proteins from Escherichia coli bacteria.
The graduates follow in the footsteps of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Roger Y. Tsien, by cloning a gene encoding GFP green fluorescent protein derived from the Aequorea victoria jellyfish. GFP protein, among other known fluorescent proteins, is used as a universal reporter element. GFP is now a global standard that allows you to track biochemical processes in cell lines and living organisms, ranging from plants, bacteria, through fish, to mammalian organisms.
Students perform the recombinant gene expression of gfp-transformed E. coli bacteria and effectively isolate this unusual protein by three-phase extraction and liquid chromatography. The observation of naturally occurring fluorescence of this fascinating protein is an undoubted reward crowning the commitment of each student.
