Research Facilities

The primaryresearch facilities on Main Campus are housed in

  • 喧堯梗泭for the Biology Department;
  • Beury Hall for the Chemistry and Earth and Environmental Science departments;and
  • 喧堯梗泭, the College of Science and Technology'smost advanced facility completed in 2014, for portions of the Biology andChemistry departments, as well as the Computer andInformation Sciencesand Physics departments.

The instrumentation housed in 喧堯梗泭Biology-Life Sciences Building,Beury Hall and SERC isavailable for use by undergraduate research students subject to proper training and supervision by faculty, graduate studentsor postdoctoral researchers.

Undergraduate students of 51勛圖厙s College of Science and Technology also have the opportunity to perform research at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine under the direction of medical school faculty and thus have access to additional facilities and instrumentation.
