The Biology Department has over 10,000 square feet of research space. The NTRI core lab consists of a tissue culture facility and a chromatography facility. The facilities have both Macintosh and IBM computers which allow for multi-media presentations. Additionally, the facilities have recently acquired a gel-scanning system which can quantitate the intensities of bands in electrophoresis gels. Between the different labs in the department, the ability exists to either grow the actual cells or create cDNA libraries.
Plans are also currently underway to attempt to purchase a partial sequencing apparatus.
