Multiple opportunities exist for interactions with scientists in other areas including the Cancer Center, the School of Veterinary Medicine, the School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal Sciences and the Departments of Entomology, Biology and Chemistry. Of particular interest is the new Environmental Sciences and Engineering Institute. Seminar and research group presentations, as well as the preparation of manuscripts, are employed to develop oral and written communication skills. Graduate students are encouraged to attend regional and national meetings to present the results of their research. The laboratories for toxicology research are well equipped with high speed and ultracentrifuges, liquid scintillation counters, gas and high pressure liquid chromatographs, UV and visible spectrophotometers and spectrophotofluoro-meters.
Facilities are also available for molecular biology and cell culture work.
There is access to campus wide centers such as the mass spectrometry center, hybridoma laboratory and flow cytometry laboratory. An accredited animal facility is conveniently located for studies in rats, mice and rabbits. Extensive computer and library resources, including on-line access to bibliographic databases, are available.
