Microbiology's initial space allocation is newly remodeled and provides office and research laboratories for faculty and students, creating ideal conditions for modern, cutting-edge research programs. All necessary equipment for research in microbiology, molecular biology, and genetics is available.
Laboratories share common equipment rooms, forming a research cluster.
Additional resources, in Biochemistry, provide access to protein synthesizers and peptide sequencers, as well as mass spectrometers. The Department's ethernet and modem connections provide office, laboratory and home computers connectivity to local and world-wide network resources. Other department core facilities include a fluorescence microscopy workstation, a graphics workstation and imaging workstations for the analysis and quantification of photo and radioactive emissions. Course work for medical students includes medical microbiology the second semester of the first year. All information is presented in both classroom lecture and hands-on lab work with instruction.
