Dr. Alessio Garrone

Doctoral Researcher fellow of the Jena Graduate School of Microbial Communication (JSMC) at the FSU Jena. I've been working on a research project part of a collaboration of the Biochemisty department at FSU and the Leibniz Institut of Photonic Technology (IPHT). we have been investigating the structure-function relationship of an photo-enzyme (and enzyme which works under light control) using a series of biochemical and molecular biology tools in combination with spectroscopic methods.

Me and my colleagues from the Anlytic working group, are in charge of develop, adapt and implement bio-analytical methods for the in-process-controll and API release. we work for and in tight collaboration with the USP and DSP groups in the BioProcessDevelopment by Wacker Biotech Jena

Development of a series of analytical methods for the biochemical and biophysical characterization of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)
