EPCC's research projects which will utilize the proposed instrumentation include: (1) A study of the environmental factors that affect virus survival in groundwater and surface water and the structural changes associated with viral inactivation and reactivation. (2) Taxonomic studies of rattlesnakes in the southwest by comparing chromatographic profiles of snake venoms. (3) Isolation and characterization of microorganisms indigenous to the intertidal zone and to the EI Paso, TX area. (4) The use of bacteria and peat moss in the design of electrodes specific for heavy metals. (5) A study of Giardia Lamblia surface antigens will require the use of the SMART system and liquid scintillation system to purify and analyze the radioactively- labeled proteins.

EPCC的研究项目包括：(1)研究地下水和地表水中影响病毒生存的环境因素以及病毒灭活和再活的结构变化。(2)对西南地区响尾蛇的分类学研究。(3)潮间带和EI Paso， TX地区特有微生物的分离和鉴定。(4)利用细菌和泥炭苔藓设计重金属专用电极。(5)研究贾第鞭毛虫表面抗原需要使用SMART系统和液体闪烁系统对放射性标记蛋白进行纯化和分析。
