Tutorials in
Protein Purification
(3 day hands-on instruction in Downstream Processing)

In an intimate, small group laboratory setting, learn the details of protein purification from an expert. Join Professor William Ward as he leads you through the step-by-step purification of a model protein, hands-on from start to finish. Under his constant supervision, you will prepare a crude extract, administer several batch purification steps, and then achieve purity in a series of high resolution chromatography steps. You will then judge purity of the final product in comparison with your crude extract by calculating specific activity and by analyzing your product by size exclusion HPLC and/or SDS gel electrophoresis.

As you assist in setting up equipment, carrying out experiments, and analyzing results, you will have many opportunities to benefit from Professor Ward’s extensive experience as a long-time, practicing protein biochemist.

So that your specific questions can be properly addressed in one-on-one dialogue, the number of attendees will be limited.

Course sessions run three days, Friday thru Sunday with breakfast and lunch provided on Saturday and Sunday.

Faculty Coordinator/Instructor

Dr. William W. Ward
Associate Professor of Biochemistry
School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Rutgers University
and Director of C.R.E.B.B.

As a full time research scientist, Dr. Ward has spent 42 years studying the biochemistry of luminescence in jellyfish and ctenophores, from the Florida gulf coast to Washington's Puget Sound, to the Jersey shore. He is an acclaimed world expert in bioluminescence and protein purification, with special emphasis on green-fluorescent protein (GFP).

Dr. Ward is a noted teacher and seminar leader with more than 22 years of experience with adult professional audiences. He is the first person to use GFP in college-level lab courses and in hands-on corporate biotechnology training programs and seminars. He is the founder of the Rutgers University center, CREBB, that has delivered two decades-worth of hands-on short courses in biotechnology to over 2000 individuals in the biopharmaceutical community.

As a pioneer of GFP and fluorescent protein research, Dr. Ward has been providing purified GFP and anti-GFP antibodies to the biotech industry on a contract basis for over 15 years. Based, in part, on the success of this entrepreneurial effort and the success of his teaching center, Dr. Ward has started his own biotech company, Brighter Ideas, Inc. Dr. Ward's vision for Brighter Ideas, Inc. is to design and create commercial products which utilize GFP and fluorescent protein technology. Currently, some of these products include unique high throughput screening Protease/Protease Inhibitor assays, protein purification kits, and antibodies.
