Research Facilities

The department's state-of-the-art facilities offer a wide range of modern instrumentation and research support services. These include tissue culture rooms, a monoclonal antibody facility; flow cytometry, ultracentrifuges, electrophysiological measurement systems from organ perfusion to single-channel recordings, microprocessor-controlled spectrophotometers and fluorometers, including dual excitation wavelength instruments for intracellular ion measurements; photographic equipment and darkrooms; video and confocal microscopy and image analysis systems; immunochemical and immunocytochemical instrumentation; and protein purification and DNA sequencing equipment.

University research support facilities also contribute to the high quality of training for graduate students. These facilities are fully staffed by professionals and include the Electron Microscopy Lab with transmission and scanning scopes; the Biochemical Research Services Lab for protein and DNA sequencing, amino acid analysis, and oligonucleotide syntheses; and the Molecular Graphics and Modeling Lab with VAX computers, extensive databases for protein structures, and multiple molecular modeling programs. Links to these and other facilities are supplied below.

The Anschutz Science Library is located next to the Pharmacy School, containing holdings in biology, biomedical sciences, chemistry, pharmacy, and physics. The library is also fully equipped for on-line computer searching of most commercial databases in the biomedical sciences.

Graduate students have access to a common computer facility located next to the Departmental office. These computers are equipped with numerous scientific and office software packages for use by all students. Additionally, these computers are linked via an ethernet connection to the university network system.
