What kinds of laboratories and equipment will be coming into Kannapolis?
When complete, the David H. Murdock Research Institute (DHMRI) laboratory on the NCRC will have one the most comprehensive collections of advanced scientific equipment in the world, including molecular genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, state-of-the-art microscopy, an animal imaging suite with MRI, PET, SPECT and CT imaging, ultra high resolution molecular imaging, and small molecule synthesis and purification. The Molecular Imaging Facility will house the flagship instrument for the study – a super-sized magnet, the Bruker 950-megaherz shielded NMR spectrascope, still under construction, that will enable us to see for the first time some of the tiniest structures inside a cell.
