CSB Research Facilities
The Department of Cellular & Structural Biology occupies 34,000 square feet of research and office space
in addition to teaching space. The Department and its research
laboratories are a biotechnological resource available for qualified
scientists in the University, state and region.
The laboratories house instrumentation for a world class facility that is available for Optical Imaging of all kinds:
- digitized video microscopy;
- confocal microscopy
- fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy,
- multiphoton excitation microscopy.
A shared cell/tissue culture facility serves the tissue culture requirements of the Department. It contains hoods for sterile culture, inverted microscopes, incubators and cell microinjection equipment. A complete dish washing, sterilization facility and cold room supports the facility.
Instrumentation for modern cell and molecular biological
research is widely available in the Department, including equipment for
preparative and ultracentrifugation; gel electrophoresis, high
performance liquid chromatography and fast protein liquid
chromatography; spectrophotometry and spectrofluorophotometry;
scintillation counting; calorimetry; autoradiography;
immunocytochemistry; radioimmunoassay; membrane and protein
purification; DNA cloning and sequencing (gel scanners, phosphoimager);
in situ hybridization and other techniques of modern tissue, cell and
molecular biology.
