Laboratories in the Integrated Program in Biochemistry (IPiB) are located in modern buildings that promote interaction between research groups. Here, IPiB students have at their disposal state-of-the-art instrumentation that empowers their research. Individual research groups in IPiB are well-equipped with everything necessary for researchers to achieve their scientific goals. Research facilities and cores offer access to advanced instrumentation and provide first-hand training opportunities to enable students to become experts in advanced biochemical techniques.
Our buildings
We are located in the vibrant and interconnected buildings of the Hector F. DeLuca Biochemical Sciences Complex.
Our complex integrates modern laboratory facilities with completely renovated historical buildings that host classrooms and services.
Structural biology
IPiB is a center of excellence for structural biology, with a national NMR facility, a state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility supporting single particle, tomography, and micro-ED, as well as instrumentation for X-ray crystallography.
Microscopy and imaging
Support for advanced microscopy, including super-resolution imaging, can be found in IPiB and major facilities on campus.
Biophysics and Biotechnology
From fluorimetry, SPR and mass-spec to nucleic acid synthesis, next-gen sequencing, flow-cytometry, and sorting, our facilities cover all instrumental needs.
High-throughput computing
Groups performing high-throughput computing have their bases covered in IPiB. In particular, the CHTC on campus provides free access to its large distributed Linux campus grid.
Drug discovery
Researchers in IPiB who identify a new potential drug target can readily collaborate with the Small Molecule Screening Facility (SMSF) to develop high-throughput screening for the identification of small molecule inhibitors.
