Dan Eaton
Director,
Protein Chemistry

The Protein Chemistry Department provides and supports the protein purification and characterization needs of Research. This includes both large-scale reagent and micropurifications. The department is largely responsible for the maintenance of the protein request system, a web based system that allows researchers to request protein purifications. The department also strives to maintain and build our technology edge. These areas include refolding of proteins, protein conjugations (especially drug-antibody conjugations), protein sequencing and mass spectrometry. The department also provides protein chemistry support for TAP, TAHO and Angiogenesis project teams.

Recruitment We are looking for independent, creative, self-motivated and energetic people to join the Protein Chemistry team. Genentech is a great place to do research because it supports and encourages both cutting-edge basic science and applied research. This approach allows for opportunities that scientists may not have in the academic sector.
