Development of a Marine Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Facility

肯尼斯·特诺尔博士是切萨皮克生物实验室的主任，该实验室是马里兰大学环境与河口研究中心的三个校区之一。该实验室位于切萨皮克西岸的Patuxent河口，供常驻和来访的科学家进行生态学、环境化学、河口沉积物的生物和地球化学以及渔业生物学的研究。Tenore博士建议在实验室建立一个新的研究设施，利用分子生物学、生物化学和生物技术的技术进行研究。新的设施将允许研究人员准备和存储样品以供分析，在实验室培养细胞，并进行各种分子和生化分析。将这些新技术提供给实验室的研究人员将大大加强大量的环境研究项目。

Dr. Kenneth Tenore is the Director of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, which is one of three campuses of the University of Maryland's Center for Environmental and Estuarine Research. The Lab is located along the western shore of the Chesapeake at the mouth of the Patuxent River, and the facility is used by resident and visiting scientists for research in ecology, environmental chemistry, the biology and geochemistry of estuarine sediments, and fisheries biology. Dr. Tenore proposes to establish a new facility at the Lab for research that employs techniques from molecular biology, biochemistry, and biotechnology. The new facility will allow researchers to prepare and store samples for analysis, culture cells in the laboratory, and perform a variety of molecular and biochemical analyses. Making these new techniques available to investigators at the Lab will significantly enhance a substantial number of environmental research projects.
