A modern, high technology-oriented physiology laboratory to support the physiology and cell biology courses is being equipped through this award. These courses constitute an integral part of the Biology program and are fundamental to the students' understanding of life processes. Explanations of biological phenomena are increasingly sought at the biochemical level, and are arrived at by employing sophisticated, instrument-oriented techniques such as radioactive labeling of cellular components, spectro-photometric analyses of enzyme activities and metabolic concentrations, and chromatographic procedures for separating complex mixtures into their individual components. A UV/VIS spectrophotometer, a high pressure liquid chromatographic system, and a computer link-up that provides instrument control and data analysis are being added. At least three courses are benefitting directly. In addition, a new instrumentation course is being developed. In the field of modern molecularly-oriented biology, skill in the use of these techniques and supportive instruments is second only in importance to the students' understanding of the biological concepts for which they are employed.

一个现代化的，高科技导向的生理实验室，以支持 生理学和细胞生物学课程都是通过这个设备来完成的， 奖 这些课程构成了生物学课程的一个组成部分 是学生理解生命过程的基础。 对生物现象的解释越来越多地寻求在 生物化学水平，并通过使用复杂的， 面向仪器的技术，如细胞的放射性标记， 成分，酶活性的分光光度分析， 代谢浓度和色谱分离程序 将复杂的混合物分解成它们各自的成分。 A UV/维斯 分光光度计，高压液相色谱系统，和 提供仪器控制和数据分析的计算机连接， 正在添加。 至少有三个课程直接受益。 在 此外，还正在编制一个新的仪器仪表课程。 在现代分子生物学领域， 这些技术和支持工具的重要性仅次于 学生对生物学概念的理解， 被雇用。
