An impressive array of facilities for modern cell and molecular biology research exists among the participating units of the CMB Program. The Macromolecular Structure Facility in the Biochemistry Building has oligonucleotide synthesizers, a peptide synthesizer, peptide sequenators, phosphorimager and chemiluminescent imagers, and a BIAcore surface plasmon resonance instrument. Genomic technology facilities include high-throughput sequencing, oligonucleotide and cDNA microarray production and analysis, and bioinformatics core facilities. The MSU Center for Advanced Microscopy is equipped with both transmission and scanning electron microscopes. An Ortho Cytofluorograph cell sorter is available in the Biochemistry Building, as is the Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Facility. NMR, ESR, and X-ray diffraction equipment are located in the Chemistry Building. Extensive tissue culture (both plant and animal) and bacterial growth facilities are available, as are animal care rooms and greenhouses for plant growth. In short, essentially the entire gamut of technical facilities needed for modern cell and molecular biology are present at MSU.
