MRI: Acquisition of a Fluorescence-activated Cell Sorter and an Ultracentrifuge for Collaborative Research and Teaching at Hampshire College

该奖项是为了在免疫学，细胞生物学，生物化学，生理学和微生物学领域为活跃的本科研究教学计划收购一个准备超级中心。超浓缩器将用于研究有机分子的命运和含石油热液沉积物中与新陈代谢有关的微生物群落，并将用于纯化和分离与砷代谢有关的蛋白质，这种超浓缩器将成为本科生研究和教育目的的组成部分，并将供当地五所学院联合体的学生使用。这所本科学院的所有学生都必须完成独立的研究项目，其中一些将使用超浓缩铀。该学院通过推广计划成功地招募了妇女和少数民族的科学。

This award is for the acquisition of a preparative ultracentrifuge for an active undergraduate research-teaching program in the areas of immunology, cell biology, biochemistry, physiology and microbiology. The ultracentrifuge will be used to study the fate of organic molecules and the microbial community associated with metabolism in petroleum-containing hydrothermal sediments, and it will be used in efforts to purify and isolate the proteins associated with arsenic metabolism.This ultracentrifuge will be integral for undergraduate research and educational purposes, and it will be available for use by students in the local five-college consortium. All students at this undergraduate college are required to complete independent research projects, some of which will use the ultracentrifuge. The college has been successful at recruiting women and minorities to the sciences through outreach programs.
