The University of Lethbridge has a well established track record as a primarily undergraduate institution.  In recent years, the university has experienced rapid growth and established a much needed graduate program.  Both undergraduate and graduate students are actively involved in research and the addition of a high throughput DNA laboratory would provide them with access to state-of-the-art facilities comparable to those at other research institutions.  It will be used to support a range of research projects including stress response, plant development and environmental impact of livestock operations.  One of the projects that would benefit the most from this equipment uses DNA as tags to track the historical changes in bird populations in response to climate change.  This project will assist with predictions of extinctions and response to habitat fragmentation and range shifts resulting from human disturbance and global warming.

莱斯布里奇大学作为一所以本科为主的大学，有着良好的历史记录。近年来，该大学经历了快速发展，并建立了急需的研究生课程。本科生和研究生都积极参与研究，增加一个高通量DNA实验室将为他们提供进入国家的-与其他研究机构的设施相当的艺术设施。它将用于支持一系列研究项目，包括压力反应，植物的发展和畜牧业对环境的影响。从这种设备中受益最多的项目之一是使用DNA作为标签，追踪鸟类族群因应气候变迁的历史变迁。2此计画将协助预测鸟类的迁徙，以及对人类干扰和全球暖化所造成的栖息地破碎化和分布范围转移的回应。
