Gastroenterology Research Laboratory

GI Research Lab.

Our research laboratory is located in rooms 422 and 426 of the Biomedical Research Building in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

Our lab occupies 1,250 square feet and is well equipped for research involving molecular and cell biology; e.g., refrigerated high-speed and low-speed centrifuges, thermal cycler, -20C and -80C freezers, vertical and horizontal electrophoresis apparatus, Western blot transfer apparatus, cell culture hood and incubators, regular and fluorescence plate readers.

There also is a large, shared work area equipped with the following:

  • multi-photon confocal microscope
  • upright and inverted fluorescence microscopes
  • FACS
  • real-time thermal cyclers
  • molecular imagers
  • nano-drop spectrometer
  • ultracentrifuges,gamma and beta counters
  • FPLC
  • HPLC
  • low-temperature freezers

All research laboratories in the Biomedical Research Building are located in close proximity on six floors (about 10 labs per floor). This fosters ongoing interaction, discussion and exchange of information between and among staff, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and technologists.
