The VBC occupies 19,000 square feet
of space on the third floor of the Sanders Research and
Education Building (CB) on the MCG campus. All
laboratories, offices, and common equipment areas in this
space have been newly renovated through funding from a
$2.5 million Robert W. Woodruff Foundation Grant.
Individual laboratories and common equipment areas are
equipped with the modern, sophisticated instrumentation
required for carrying out a wide variety of experimental
protocols.
In addition, the Georgia Research Alliance has recently
established several very useful Core Facilities on the
MCG campus. These include the Molecular Biology Core
Facility (DNA and protein sequencing, oligonucleotide and
peptide synthesis, gene chip technology), the Transgenic
Analysis Core Facility (analysis of transgenically
altered animals), the Transgenic and Embryonic Stem Cell
Mouse Core Facility (production of transgenic mice), the
Histology Core Facility (histological analysis of tissue
samples), the Cell Imaging Core Facility (fluorescence,
confocal, and multiphoton microscopy), and the Flow
Cytometry Core Facility (cell sorting). These facilities
are administered through the MCG Institute of Molecular
Medicine and Genetics. VBC faculty and staff, like all
other MCG faculty and staff, have equal access to the use
of these Core Facilities.
