Shared Facilities

Solution Biomimetics Facilities include solution and electro- chemistry. These shared facilies focus on synthesis of inorganics, such as metals, non-metals, and semiconductors in the form of nanoparticles, quantum dots, ordered arrays in 1, 2 and 3D, such as nanowires and patterned thin films. These laboratories are located in Benson 247 (electrochemitry, Schwart), Bagley 195 (solution […]

Computational Biomimetics Laboratories are exclusive to GEMSEC and consist of a cluster of about 360 processors with a cumulative processing power of 4.7 x 1012 instructions per clock (661 GHz), 169 GB RAM, and 30568 GB HD. All the machines run the Linux operating system. These exclusive facilities, under the leadership of Samudrala (Microbiology), are […]

Molecular Biology & Biomimetics Laboratories are those in which biological research is carried out for materials science applications. These laboratories include Wilcox 131 & 133 (combinatorial-phage and cell surface display; molecular biology, Tamerler & Sarikaya), Wilcox 233 & 235 (protein synthesis, purification and characterization, Tamerler & Sarikaya). Associated laboratories are located in Microbiology (HSB-I 310, […]
