The Whitney Marine Laboratory is a research institute of the University of Florida, established in 1974, and dedicated to the use of marine organisms for solving basic problems in experimental biology. The primary areas of study at the Laboratory are cell and neurobiology, but within those fields the scope is broad, including a variety of problems and approaches. The Whitney Laboratory has three strengths: it has broad technical expertise, and is particularly well instrumented for research in modern biochemistry, cell biology and physiology, an advantage maintained by support from the University and extramural agencies; a diverse fauna is available locally; and the rich animal resources of the tropics are easily accessible. Moreover, these organisms, as well as those from cold habitats, can be kept easily by virtue of a seawater supply that is unlimited, pristine and (in a new experimental aquarium facility) temperature controlled. This project will provide support for new construction and renovation to maintain and enhance the Laboratory's strengths. A new marine bio-resource facility, with work space, a collector's office and storage areas, will be built. A larger and more efficient tissue culture facility, with an adjoining room for image analysis, will be constructed. These activities will also free up space for molecular genetics, a common instrument room, and a laboratory for visiting scientists. These improvements will enhance the ability of the Whitney Laboratory to collect, maintain, and use marine animals, as well as maintaining its technological advantage in cell biology.

惠特尼海洋实验室是一个研究机构， 佛罗里达大学，成立于1974年，致力于 利用海洋生物解决海洋生态系统中的基本问题 实验生物学 主要研究领域在 实验室是细胞和神经生物学，但在这些领域， 范围很广，包括各种问题和办法。 惠特尼实验室有三个优势： 技术专长，特别是良好的工具， 现代生物化学、细胞生物学和生理学研究， 通过大学的支持保持优势， 校外机构;当地有多种动物;以及 热带地区丰富的动物资源唾手可得。 此外，这些生物，以及那些来自寒冷栖息地的生物， 可以很容易地保持凭借海水供应， 无限，原始和（在一个新的实验水族馆设施） 温度控制。 该项目将为新的建设提供支持， 翻新，以保持和提高实验室的优势。 一 新的海洋生物资源设施，有工作空间，收藏家的 办公室和仓库将建成。 更大和更 高效的组织培养设施，与相邻的房间， 图像分析，将建立。 这些活动还将 为分子遗传学腾出空间，一个公共仪器室， 还有一个供来访科学家使用的实验室 这些改进 将增强惠特尼实验室收集、 保护和利用海洋动物， 细胞生物学的技术优势。
