Short course
The purpose of the protein purification course is to train students of any educational level or researchers, with the aim of making them independent in protein purification techniques, particularly those associated with "Fast Pressure Chromatography"- AKTAs equipment. This course will enable trainees to independently purify the proteins they wish to study in the course of their future research work.
The course will cover theoretical concepts such as optimizing protein expression, choosing the best buffer for stability, sample preparation using cell disruption methods, operation and maintenance of automated AKTA-type systems, chromatographic techniques, monitoring and verification of purification results, protein concentration and dialysis methods and cleaning chromatographic columns.
Credits: 1 ECTS
Target audience
Undergraduates, Masters or PhD students, research fellows or researchers who want to learn about protein purification.

This course is supported by European funds under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) of the Portuguese Republic, following the approval of the "CIVIC and GLOBAL" project of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa (RE - C06.i03.03 - Impulso Adultos), through fellowhips for elegible students under the PRR regulations.
The Recovery and Resilience Plan is a nationally applicable programme. The Plan will implement a set of reforms and investments aimed at restoring sustained economic growth, supporting the goal of convergence with Europe over the next decade.
The European Union, faced with the serious impacts of the pandemic on European economies, has created Next Generation EU, a strategic instrument to mitigate the economic and social impact of the crisis; this is capable of promoting economic convergence and resilience, helping to ensure long-term sustainable growth and meeting the challenges of the transition to a greener and more digital society. The Recovery and Resilience Mechanism has been developed on the basis of this instrument, and the RRP fits into this framework.
The PRR is an investment plan for all Portuguese people, based on three structuring dimensions: Resilience; Climate Change; Digital Transition.
