When the objective one will complete the four archaea proteome will be available for the scientific community and the general public
We presented an abstract entitle “Evaluation of antigenicity of key protein in methanogenesis and design of antigens for anti-methane antibody production” in the 13th international conference on goats celebrated online between 19-22 of September 2022. As result of this oral communication, we have been invited to submit a manuscript to the official journal of the conference “Small ruminant Research” with a deadline on 31 of may 2023. In the same way, we presented also a poster contribution in the International Scientific Meeting on colostrum in November 2022 entitled “Egg yolk, the colostrum of birds; buffers that can be used for easy purification of IgY”, as results related with IGYMERA. At the same time, we can get some contact with researcher interested in the IGY use, and one company (EW Nutrition) that working with the IGY technology and could be a potential partner in the future.
It should be emphasized that the MSC grant was terminated due to consolidation as an associate professor of the researcher. This fellowship is directly responsible for the researcher prevailing over 3 other candidates in this competitive position. Thus, the improvement of relevant skills such as independent thinking, leadership, scientific competitiveness and research management developed during this project is evident.
In terms of technical training, the researcher has improved numerous skills and knowledge in the following areas: Bioinformatics (gene analysis; protein and peptide prediction and in silico analysis; peptide design for immunological or technological purposes), Proteomics (protein extraction from different matrices, protein digestion for MS analysis, use and maintenance of HPLC/MS equipment, selection of HPLC columns based on the research objective), IgY (purification, biotechnological use, assays for detection, functional and purity analysis)
