Research Facilities
Graduate students and postdocs carry out their research in well-equipped faculty research laboratories. In addition to basic research equipment, tools, and facilities, major shared facilities include:
- Cutting-edge microscopy facilities: transmission and scanning electron, fluorescence, confocal laser scanning, and photon imaging microscopes
- Animal-care: maintenance, experimentation, surgery, mouse transgenic and knockout facilities
- Fluorescence-activated cell sorter facility
- A recently remodeled greenhouse, plant growth chambers, and controlled temperature rooms
- Fresh and salt-water aquaria
- New Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) facility that houses a whole-body 3MRI system and will eventually also contain a smallbore, high-field 9.4T MRI system
- Molecular genetics core with the capacity to analyze genechips
- Molecular modeling center
- Proteomics facility including ITC, CD, DSC, and SPR instrumentation
