Description: The reasarch is based on the
activities at the KTH microarray
resource center, with focus on methodology and technology
development of all aspects of DNA and protein microarray related
activities, such as large-scale array production, high-throughput
target and probe preparation, automation, amplification protocols,
as well as several of the bioinformatic tools needed for a
microarray analysis. The method and technology driven research
is generally applied to a wide variaty of biological research
projects together with collaborators, such as transcript profiling
in cancer related projects, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Archaea
and Poplar. Recently has also projects with different formats
of protein microarrays been initiated, applied to analysis
of antibody specificity and screening of clinical samples.
