Harald Scheuch - Head of Molecular Biology Service

Harald is also the contact person regarding establishing protocols and training on liquid handling automation. He is instructing on some other facility equipment (e.g. Synergy Plate Reader, RT-cycler BioRad). Harald is happy to answer all your questions regarding our test systems such as routinely Mycoplasma Testing every week.

Kristina Uzunova - Protein Expression Facility

Kristina is responsible for the Protein Expression Facility, within the Molecular Biology Service. She uses E.coli and P. pastoris expression systems. Kristina provides recombinant proteins of general use, such as proteases, polymerases and growth factors, and recombinant antibodies. In addition, she works in close collaboration with research groups on specific projects, designing expression constructs and developing tailor-made protein expression and purification protocols. She has also established and maintains a collection of expression vectors. Kristina also provides training and technical assistance to students.

 

Boril Bochev - Protein Expression Facility

Boril assists Kristina in all steps of protein expression and purification.  He is also in charge of the next generation high-throughput chromatographer, and develops tailor-made purification protocols.

Sabina Kula

Sabina joined our group in January 2012. She is responsible for conducting the reagents/methods testing and quality control on the MBS products. To her duties belong performing the weekly mycoplasma test as well as supporting the MBS Protein Expression Facility in molecular biology field. She can help you with requests for all RNAi libraries available at the MBS.

Martina Rath - Sanger Sequencing

Martina graduated as a Medical Technical Assistant and worked in Medical Labs before she joined the IMP in 2000. She worked as a Research Technician in Groups from Erwin Wagner and Alex Stark. Since summer 2020 she is a member of the Molecular Biology Service and responsible for Sanger Sequencing, Speed Congenic Service, STR profiling for authentication of human cell lines, stem cells and tissues, and preparation of competent cells (chemically competent cells, electrocompetent ones and agrobacteria).
