This project describes the incorporation of a requested ultracentrifuge into the Biology and Biochemistry programs at Loyola Marymount University. The ultracentrifuge will augment existing equipment and will be used to: a) provide the basis for a new course in cellular biology affecting a significant number of biology and biochemistry majors, b) augment and integrate existing courses in molecular biology and biochemistry, and c) enhance the nvolvement of faculty and students in undergraduate research. The acquisition of this equipment will strengthen the Biology and Chemistry and Biochemistry departmental programs by: 1) providing strong laboratory experiences in cellular biology, 2) complementing existing molecular biology and biochemistry facilities for an integrated approach to the study of cellular and subcellular phenomena, 3) enhancing undergraduate research opportunities by enabling biology and biochemistry faculty to pursue new avenues of research, and 4) reinforcing cross-departmental interaction and collaboration in teaching and research efforts.

该项目描述了在洛约拉玛丽蒙特大学的生物学和生物化学课程中纳入所需的超浓缩物。超级计算机将增加现有的设备，并将用于：a）提供一个新的细胞生物学课程的基础，影响了大量的生物学和生物化学专业，B）增加和整合现有的分子生物学和生物化学课程，和c）提高教师和学生在本科研究的nvolvement。 该设备的购置将通过以下方式加强生物学和化学以及生物化学部门的计划：1）在细胞生物学方面提供强大的实验室经验，2）补充现有的分子生物学和生物化学设施，以综合方法研究细胞和亚细胞现象，3）通过使生物学和生物化学教师能够追求新的研究途径来增强本科生的研究机会，（四）加强跨部门的教学和研究工作的互动和协作。
