Turku Protein Core (TuProtCore) is a one-stop-shop open-access core facility that helps internal and external users with their protein-related tasks. It includes vast basic and advanced infrastructure from both Åbo Akademi University and the University of Turku and has capabilities to assist researchers in moving their project from protein expression to biophysical characterization to protein crystallization.

- Call for Proposals: Equipment Acquisition at Turku Protein Core
Dear Researchers,
Turku Protein Core is inviting you to submit proposals for new equipment that you believe would be an asset to protein research here in Turku. We recognize that you use a variety of equipment on a daily basis, and we highly appreciate your input in helping us identify which tools would enhance our research capabilities.
You can leave your proposals with justifications via this form
If you are not familiar with instrumentation that is already available through Turku Protein Core, you can find more information about them here.
Please note that this initiative is aimed at obtaining information for future applications and that no funding is currently available for additional equipment acquisitions. Our steering committee will use the proposals in consideration for future grant applications. If you’re interested in participating in a possible meeting or workshop regarding protein research infrastructure here on campus, you can leave your contact information through the form.
We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to contribute to the development of protein research facilities here in Turku, and we look forward to reviewing your proposals. The submission deadline is 04.06.2023. For any questions, you can contact us at tuprotcore [ @ ]utu.fi.
- Sign up for the launch event!
We cordially invite you to the launch event of Turku Protein Core, a one-stop-shop for protein research support and instrumentation. On March 21st at 10 in Presidentti Auditorium (Biocity, Tykistökatu 6, 20520 Turku), we will introduce you to our infrastructure and the possibilities available to scientists here in Turku.
During the event, you will learn about our services and hear from researchers who have already used our instrumentation to advance their research. We will also discuss our future plans for Turku Protein Core and how we hope to support protein research further.
Coffee/tea and sandwiches will be offered at the start of the event.
Register for the event here
The deadline for registration is on March 9th.
We look forward to seeing you on March 21st at 10!
- Special gift from NanoTemper coming up – save the date
We at NanoTemper love seeing joy on the faces of scientists, when they see their efforts paying off and their problems being solved.
Therefore, we would like to offer you a special gift – an invitation to February 28th – March 1st, free workshop in BioCity Turku, Finland, where you will have an opportunity not only to become familiar with our solutions designed for protein and interaction research and to discuss their application in your research projects with our application specialists, but also to measure your own samples and to see how easy the path to solve your research problems is. If this sounds interesting to you, please confirm your readiness to participate in this event by registering here
In case of any questions we are happy to help.
We hope to see you soon! - Turku Protein Core is here to boost your protein research!
Turku Protein Core (TuProtCore) is a one-stop-shop open-access core facility that helps internal and external users with their protein-related tasks. It includes vast basic and advanced infrastructure from both Åbo Akademi University and the University of Turku and has capabilities to assist researchers in moving their project from protein expression to biophysical characterization to protein crystallization.
Currently, we are offering access and training to a wide range of instruments in addition to assistance with protein-related questions. We are building up our protein production and characterization services, which will be available later this year, but we are always open to discussing potential projects, so do not hesitate to contact us!
Save the date! We are hosting a launch event on 21.3., where we will tell more about ourselves, our future directions and the research our instrumentation enables. More information will follow soon.
We also have a workshop coming up in collaboration with Nanotemper on 28.2-1.3. In the workshop, you can get familiar with instruments from Monolith and Prometheus product lines and use them to study protein characteristics and interaction. For more information and registration click here.
