Multiuser Facilities for Molecular Marine Biology and Biotechnology

斯坦福大学霍普金斯海洋站(HMS)成立于1892年，自1917年以来一直作为常驻教员的常年设施持续运行。它位于加利福尼亚州的太平洋格罗夫，距离斯坦福校区90英里。它的遗址占地11英亩，海岸线长1英里，保存着加州海岸最丰富的潮间带环境之一。空间站有七名常驻教职员工，来自主校区的其他六名教职员工也在HMS维持实验室。HMS的一项重大新努力是应用现代分子技术来解决海洋生物学和生物海洋学中的基本问题，目前正在规划阶段，将通过建造一座大型新楼来支持这一努力。HMS的常驻和非常驻教员是这一新研究前沿的领导者。这项奖励将购买一些基本设备(超速离心机、凝胶盒、显微镜等)。用于海洋生物技术研究。斯坦福大学将承诺至少70万美元的配套资金，以确保这一令人兴奋的新冒险取得成功。此外，斯坦福大学已在未来几年拨出大量资金，用于新的教员职位、设立资金、实验室翻新和HMS设施的技术支持。

The Hopkins Marine Station (HMS) of Stanford University was founded in 1892 and has been in continuous operation as a year- round facility with resident faculty since 1917. It is located in Pacific Grove, California, 90 miles from the Stanford campus. Its site consists of 11 acres with one mile of shoreline that preserves one of the richest pieces of intertidal environment on the California coast. The Station has seven resident faculty and six other faculty members from the main campus also maintain labs at HMS. A major new effort at HMS, to be supported by erection of a large new building currently in the planning stage, is the application of modern molecular techniques to address fundamental questions in marine biology and biological oceanography. The resident and non-resident faculty of HMS are leaders in this new research frontier. This award will purchase some essential equipment (ultracentrifuges, gel boxes, microscopes, etc.) for use in marine biotechnological research. Stanford will commit at least $700,000 in matching funds to ensure that this exciting new adventure succeeds. Moreover, Stanford has earmarked substantial funds in future years for new faculty positions, set-up funds, laboratory renovations and technical support for the facilities at HMS.
