The Department maintains laboratories fully equipped to investigate problems in biotechnology, microbiology, plant science, ecology, zoology, genetics, immunology and histology, including medical, industrial and environmental aspects.
Diagnostic work is undertaken on a consulting basis.
In addition, there is equipment suitable for use in field work, such as water sampling, vegetation surveying and soil sampling. Special areas of interest and associated specialist facilities are listed below. This utilises the latest technology, including techniques of molecular biology and protein separation, to develop improved methods of detection and control of diseases by genetic engineering. Containment facilities are available for studies on pathogenic micro-organisms of significance in veterinary and medical disease. Other facilities include equipment for small and large-scale gel electrophoresis of DNA and proteins.
