At the ground level of Lander Hall, we have 3,600 square feet of laboratory space, including an electrophysiology patch clamp lab, an electrophysiology single-cell recording lab, a biochemistry/cell culture lab with a lipidology-ultracentrifuge unit, a gas detector X ray lab (partnership), animal facility (mice, rats and frogs), common equipment rooms, fluorescence microscopy unit with digital imaging equipment, Aperio system for digitizing slides, surgery and dark room.
Construction of 3,600 square feet of new research laboratories (room 103-Lander Hall) began in 2006.
In the past 3 years we have doubled our research facilities. Ten researchers (barring students) presently work in these new laboratories which will host up to 18 investigators when full capacity is reached. Labs were inaugurated in early 2007.
A nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR, Beckman 300) laboratory has been our latest addition to the growing infrastructure.
A fully equipped GC-MS laboratory with 2 gas chromatographs-mass spectrometers, 2 HPLC machines, PCR thermocycler, Real Time PCR thermocycler, and a cell culture lab are among the many new pieces of equipment purchased over the last 3 years.
