Enhancement of Facilities for Molecular and Cellular Biology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The college will purchase equipment for its new facility for molecular and cellular biology: a high speed centrifuge, top loading balances, an analytical balance, a liquid scintillation counter, an electrophoresis/transillumination system, student microscopes, and a video camera for microscopy. These instruments will be used in a number of existing courses (introductory biology, cytology and histology, microbiology, prokaryotic and viral genetics, and biochemistry) and will also be used in a new course in molecular biology and in a new laboratory course for non-science majors. The equipment will also be used extensively in undergraduate research projects, required of all seniors. The college will provide 50% matching funds.
