Agrisera News

Agrisera supported the Co- and Post-translational Control in Chloroplasts workshop, held in Münster, Germany, between the 18th and 20th of November 2024.

This symposium gathered leading experts and emerging scientists to discuss the forefront of research on the mechanisms of chloroplast protein regulation. The symposium provided a vibrant forum for discussing the latest advancements, methodologies, and innovations in this field. The workshop presented a unique opportunity to share insights into how co- and post-translational modifications (CPTMs) within chloroplasts influence vital processes, such as photosynthesis, carbon assimilation, and the instantaneous acclimation of plants to environmental changes. 

Agrisera contributed with the Best Poster Prize, as well as hard copies of our educational posters.

Researchers from the Chemical Biological Centre (KBC) at Umeå University visited Agrisera's facility in Umeå on the 7th of November. Principal Investigators, PostDocs and PhD students joined the tour.
 
After a short presentation of Agrisera, many interesting questions were asked regarding antibody production, purification and antibody validation. 

We eagerly shared our knowledge and are hoping for future collaborations!

Feedback from one of the participants:

"Thank you to you and your colleagues for the amazing tour of the facility today and for answering our questions. It was very insightful to see some of the procedures, and to find out how much care and attention is put into making and distributing the products. I wish I could have the same confidence with every company I have purchased antibodies from!"
