Aside from typical synthetic chemistry and cell culture facilities, we have direct access to several shared facilities at TUT within our department. These include:
| 1. NMR 400 and 800 MHz |
| 2. Biacore |
| 3. QTOF, MALDI-TOF |
| 4. Imaging (confocal, TIRF, FRAP, photobleaching, live imaging) |
Short personal activity proposal for the COST Action CA15135 (max 1000 characters)
| General
1. ITN – CA15135 has a high potential to develop into a well-diversified ITN. While such applications take a long time and may not always be awarded on the first attempt. I will be ready to take part in preparing the effort from the start. 2. WG1+WG2 Synergy – I believe that optimal synergy within the CA15135 framework would be achieved through an effective crosstalk of several working groups. I will be glad to initiate/organise a synergy workshop at Tallinn U of Tech to identify and maximise such synergy possibilities early in the process.
Personal 1. I have initiated work on multifunctional cell penetrant ligands in my group at TUT in early 2016; the work is supported by the Starting Grant from the Estonian Research Council secured last year. We use both cell biology and synthetic chemistry approaches. 2. We are developing a biocompatible/supramolecular scaffolding to allow for multiheterofunctional activity to be realised within the context of the living cell. |
