MRI: Acquisition of Instrumentation for Creation of a Regional Undergraduate Biophysical Chemistry Research Cluster

在Lisa N. Gentile博士的指导下，里士满大学获得了一个用于研究和教学的生物物理实验室的仪器。该机构将获得一些专门的量热计和荧光计，用于研究细菌蛋白质，中枢神经系统中神经类固醇的分子机制以及蛋白质亚基的动力学。新仪器将提高研究小组测量热力学和实时观察细胞过程的能力。该仪器将用于许多课程，包括生物化学专业的特殊实验课程和高中教师和学生的讲习班。这些仪器将成为附近其他小型学院的区域资源。

An award has been made to the University of Richmond under the direction of Dr. Lisa N. Gentile to acquire instruments for a biophysical laboratory for research and teaching. The institution will acquire several specialized calorimeters and fluorometers to be used in research on bacterial proteins, molecular mechanisms of neurosteroid in the central nervous system, and the dynamics of protein subunits. The new instruments will improve the research group's ability to measure thermodynamics and observe processes in cells in real time. The instrument will be used in a number of courses, including a special laboratory course for biochemistry majors and workshops for high school teachers and students. The instruments will be a regional resource for other small colleges in the vicinity.
