Many laboratories focus their activities on one or two areas molecular biology and tissue culture or protein chemistry, for example, and thus have only the equipment needed for those activities. Since we work in all of these areas, we need to be exceptionally well set up. The abundant state-of-the-art equipment in our newly-built laboratory allows us to carry out a very broad range of typical laboratory procedures, and our lab is, in fact, the envy of many practicing scientists who have toured the facility. How much flexibility is there in the program? Most of the first year courses are offered twice a year, once during the regular academic year (Plan A) and again in the summer (Plan B).
