Our most recent donation was to Dr. Stefan Riedl, whose lab is part of the Cancer Center at The Burnham Institute for Medical Research. The equipment purchased for Dr. Riedl is a Kodak Gel Logic 200 Imaging System. 

Dr. Riedl’s lab focuses on the understanding of central protein complexes, which act as molecular switches in important cancer pathways.  Understanding these switches is crucial to enabling researchers to develop drug compounds influencing these key regulators as a means of combating various cancers.

The Kodak Gel Logic 200 is a state-of-the-art gel imaging system, which allows precise analysis of the protein complexes. The equipment replaced a manual type process which was much more labor intensive as well as time consuming in identifying protein components and how they interact to form large complexes; a process that requires visualization by various methods.

Dr. Riedl has trained at several prominent institutions such as Max Planck Institute and Princeton University, and most recently started his own lab at Burnham in the area of Apoptosis and Cell Death Research.
