Program Information
Research Facilities
Research laboratories are clustered so that none are more than a ten minute walk from the other laboratories and classrooms. All preceptors have well-equipped laboratories currently supported by external funding. Core facilities make the latest technologies available to all preceptors and their trainees. These include the DNA Core (sequencing/oligonucleotide synthesis), the Flow Cytometry Core (multiparameter analysis and cell sorting), the Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Core, the Image Analysis Core (transmission and scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, digital imaging), the Hybridoma Core (custom-made monoclonal antibodies), and the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Core (quantitation of oxygen radicals and other functional groups). The Hardin Health Sciences Library, in the midst of the medical center, houses an excellent collection of journals and books and computer literature searching expertise to support biomedical research.
