Research and Teaching Labs
In addition to lab spaces used in teaching classes, each faculty member has a lab where scientific inquiry is conducted in collaboration with students. These varied laboratories have state-of-the-art equipment, including tools for DNA and protein analysis, mammalian tissue culture, a flow cytometer, a real-time PCR system, hard tissue bone histology equipment, a confocal microscope, image analysis software, and a wide assortment of other technical equipment supporting both course work and research. The Science Division’s shared Keck Laboratory houses our scanning electron microscope and sputter coater among other major instruments.
