SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE
P. J. ŠAFÁRIK UNIVERSITY IN KOŠICE, Technology and Innovation Park, Center for Interdisciplinary Biosciences (CIB TIP-UPJS)
Center for Interdisciplinary Biosciences at TIP-UPJS has high-tech experimental equipment at its disposal. The infrastructure of CIB TIP-UPJS has been upgraded in the last 5 years due to participation in the projects of EU structural Funds and 7. FP EU. In total, above 2.5 million EUR has been invested in the new instruments and infrastructure of CIB TIP-UPJS. There are in disposition 13 very well-equipped laboratories. The equipment is mostly used for protein science and functional imaging achieved via advanced methods of fluorescence-based (FLIM, FRET, FRAP, FCS, optical imaging) and Raman micro-spectroscopy imaging, and micromanipulation (optical tweezers). Further, advanced instruments of differential scanning and isothermal titration calorimetry are available as well. As part of the CasProt project, this workplace will provide also other advanced techniques, especially those connected with work in the field of directed evolution of protein, single-molecule biophysics, cell and molecular biophysics.
