Proteins are the building blocks of nature that have allowed life to develop. The study of proteins has made possible the development of numerous drugs to treat various illnesses. Proteins allow environmentally friendly production of fine chemicals and are key to unlocking the potential of bioenergy, both of which will play key roles in the transition to circular economy. Turku Protein Core is a joint undertaking by the University of Turku, Åbo Akademi University and Turku Bioscience to manage and improve research infrastructure essential to carry out high-quality protein research. The current facilities have been evaluated both externally and internally and we have identified several key areas for development. This application will allow hundreds of students, researchers and local industry to gain easy access to numerous state-of-the-art equipment that will greatly improve know-how in a field of science that will become increasingly important for our society in the future.
