Structural Proteomics in Toronto (SPiT), located at the University Health Network and affiliated with the University of Toronto, is one of the leading centres for genome-scale protein science. With long-term support in place from the provincial and federal governments, U.S. National Institutes of Health and the private sector, we are currently expanding our research team in Structural Biology.

Specifically, the Chirgadze Lab will be completing a five-year project with the Ontario Research and Development Challenge Fund (ORDCF) entitled “A Network of Protein Crystallography Labs to Support Proteomics Research”. This project involves leveraging scientific technology to integrate Ontario macromolecular crystallography laboratories to produce proteins and solve protein crystal structures. The focus of this research is likely to be enzymes of industrial relevance as well as proteins involved in microbial pathogenesis.

We are interested in new collaborations with researchers or industry. Please contact Nickolay Chirgadze

We are a part of UHN Research  located at Toronto General Research Institute. Our lab is in the Max Bell Research Center. We are also affiliated with the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) and the  Department of Pharmacology, University of Toronto.
