Molecular genetics facility is renamed Integrated Biotechnology Labs

The Molecular Genetics Instrumentation Facilities has been renamed the Integrated Biotechnology Laboratories. Directed by John Wunderlich, IBL includes three sister facilities: the Functional Genomics Resource Facility, the Proteomics Resource Facility and the Sequencing and Synthesis Facility. Researchers, from beginning graduate students to experienced molecular geneticists, can access services and state of-the-art equipment as well as the training and knowledge of the IBL’s staff at each one of these facilities.
The Functional Genomics Resource Facility, managed by Roger Nilsen, is a full-service microarray and genotyping laboratory that provides a suite of Amersham Biosciences instrumentation for microarray production and analysis. Other services include microarray printing, RNA purification, microarray slide hybridization, confocal laser scanning, genotyping and quantitative PCR.
The Proteomics Resource Facility, managed by Tracy Andacht, focuses on isolating, extracting, purifying and characterizing proteins. Equipment includes two cutting-edge mass spectrometers; robotics for preparing mass spec samples; high throughput, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis units; and an automated chromatography station.
The Sequencing and Synthesis Facility, managed by Jeff Wagner, concentrates on the sequencing and synthesis of DNA, peptides and proteins. The facility uses an ABI Procise (494) sequencer for both proteins and peptides and DNA sequencers to sequence single-stranded DNA, double-stranded DNA or PCR products.
