Case Studies

Cryo-EM for Vaccine Development

A team from Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V collaborated with the Netherlands Center for Electron Nanoscopy (NeCEN) part of Instruct-NL to create and characterise new stable variants of the SARS-CoV-2 S trimer for vaccine development. Find out more.

Structure-based Antigen Design

Glaxo Smith Kline used NMR technology at the Instruct Centre in Florence, Italy, to determine the structure of some Neisseria meningitidis factor H-binding protein fHbp variants, towards identification of optimal antigens for vaccine development. Find out more

 

Testimonials

"The collaboration between our company and the Italian centre of Instruct-ERIC has been key for determining the structure-based antigen design against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B using NMR spectroscopy. Thanks to the high-end NMR instruments and the expertise in structural biology available at CERM/CIRMMP, we have been able to deliver the first recombinant protein-based meningococcal vaccine targeting a challenging disease."

Ilaria Ferlenghi, GSK Vaccines, S.r.l.

"I was delighted to have access to the expertise and dedicated capabilities at the Instruct centre in Strasbourg, France. Thanks to this collaborative effort, we were able to describe the first molecular architecture of potassium chloride co-transporter KCC2. We have also collected high resolution data using their state-of-the-art facilities. We are confident that this work will enable structure-based drug discovery soon. This type of collaboration with Instruct is a game-changer and will be certainly duplicated for other highly druggable targets".
