We are located in Jordan Hall:
| Housed in the Jordan Hall (pictured below) and Myers Hall complex, the Department of Biology has over 50 faculty and provides broad coverage of the major areas of biology, including animal behavior, biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology, ecology, evolution, genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, and plant biology. |
Two students from my lab standing by an apparatus used to investigate hoarding behavior in Siberian hamsters. The tubing system provides a simulated burrow system more closely mimicking the conditions of hoarding in the hamsters' natural environment.
Below is our computer/microscope room where we analyze video tapes of behavior using detailed computer analyses. The computer will soon be attached to a microscope so that we can send microscopic fields of view onto the computer for image analysis.
This is a picture of our lab taken from the vantage point at the main entrance.
This is a picture of the lab taken from the the opposite end of the lab relative to the picture above.
Pictured here is some of the equipment in the Animal Behavior Wet Lab core facilty available for all CISAB members (faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students) to assist anyone wishing to incorporate genetic, neuroendocrine and possible immunological techniques into research. Services include: DNA and RNA extractions, RT-PCR, cloning, microsatellite genotyping, RFLP/SNP genotyping, sequencing, RIA and ELISA.
