The Department of Cell Biology occupies 34,000 NSF on the fourth and
fifth floors of the new Whitehead Biomedical Research Building.
This state of the art facility opened in November, 2001, and includes labs,
core/shared research space, offices auditorium and a 50,000 square-foot
vivarium. The open-module lab design encourages interactions
among principal investigators, postdoctoral and predoctoral fellows.
The Whitehead Building is also home to the Departments of Human Genetics
and Physiology, the Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, and research
programs in the departments of Medicine and Pathology and
Laboratory Medicine. It is contiguous with the
O. Wayne Rollins Research Center which houses the
Departments of Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology/Immunology and
Pharmacology.
The School of Medicine offers excellent core facilities in
DNA synthesis and analysis, peptide synthesis and analysis, transgeneic
and gene knockout mouse construction, X-ray crystallography, and
molecular modeling.
