CIISB offers priority and free-of-charge access for COVID-19 research proposals

23 Mar 2020

CIISB is committed to the use its resources in response to the emergency situation of the COVID-19 virus pandemic. CIISB ensures that available technologies support primarily researchers in their efforts to study the virus and projects aiming to the development of an effective vaccine or treatment.

In this context, we are offering priority access to groups that need to use CIISB structural biology services for projects directly related to COVID-19 virus particles. Priority access will ensure a faster review of research proposals relating to COVID-19. To request priority access to CIISB services for COVID-19 related research, please submit a research proposal with COVID-19 in the title of the proposal.

Successfully accepted proposals will be free of charge, and no financial contribution will be requested for the measurement/service.

New instrumentation in Proteomics core facility

In March, two new high resolution mass spectrometers were installed in our core facility thanks to CIISB project (CZ.02.01.01/00/23_015/0008175). First we upgraded our timsTOF Pro 2 instrument to timsTOF HT improving our performance in whole proteome analyses with faster scanning speed and a wider dynamic range. In second, Ultra 2 mass spectrometer was installed. This timsTOF instrument opens doors to deeper analysis of samples with limited amount of input material due to its ultimate sensitivity.

Launch of database for raw molecular biophysics data - MBDB

We have launched a public database where you can store your raw data with rich annotation of samples and conditions of measurements.

The Molecular Biophysics Database currently accepts depositions of raw measurement files from MST, BLI, SPR and ITC.

We invite you to deposit your data, make it findable, searchable and reusable at https://mbdb-data.org/

MBDB has been developed within the EU project MOSBRI by a team of developers mainly from the Institute of Biotechnology and CESNET. Its development continues and we welcome comments and suggestions at mbdb@ibt.cas.cz.
