The research unit Protein Chemistry (SPRO) goes back to 1967 when it was founded thanks to the joint efforts of Prof. R. Jeener (ULB) and Prof. L. Kanarek, who retired a few years ago. Originally, the research activities focused on the immunogenicity of hen egg white lysozyme and its proteolytic fragments. Since the early seventies, the research topics diversified. Over the years the lab developed original technologies for the purification of ...
