Natural and Recombinant-Protein Purification Processes
Purity and purification costs are becoming important issues in biotechnology as the industry matures and competitive products reach the marketplace. The primary objective of Dr. Haynes’ research is to develop new natural and recombinant-protein purification processes based on high-affinity interactions between target proteins or drugs and separation media. Fundamental research focuses on development of new instrumentation, particularly microcalorimetry and UV-resonance Raman spectroscopy, for quantifying the delicate energetics of biological interactions and binding.
