FacilitiesFaculty participating in this program have laboratories in Biological Sciences West, Life Sciences South, Chemistry, and/or the Arizona Health Sciences Center, all on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson. The facilities are excellent and students have access to state-of-the-art equipment for their research studies.
The Arizona Research Laboratories offer biotechnology services, including DNA sequencing and oligo synthesis, as well as mass spectrometry, amino acid analysis, and protein sequencing.
Additional NMR facilities (500 and 400 MHz) including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are available in the Biological Magnetic Resonance Facility (link to website). Moreover several high field solid-state NMR spectrometers (500 and 300 MHz) are available for studies of biomolecular systems. Proteomics Core facilities provide two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry analysis. The Arizona Cancer Center has developed cDNA microarray analysis as a core service in order to provide investigators the opportunity to apply this powerful technique in their research programs.

The
University of Arizona has state-of-the-art instrumentation for biological
structure determination. High-field (600 MHz and 500 MHz) NMR spectrometers
are routinely used for solution studies of biological macromolecules.
Modern X-ray crystallography facilities allow rapid characterization
of protein and DNA crystals.
