Teaching Labs
Biology teaching labs in the CSI are hubs for experiential learning. The settings for laboratory classes, the teaching labs are fully equipped with high-tech tools for study and experimentation. All teaching labs have access to microscopes, tissue culture facilities, specimens, controlled environmental chambers, and safety equipment.
Open to the professors who teach the laboratory courses as well as the students enrolled in the courses, the teaching labs bustle with activity. Students may use the facilities outside of class time for "come-back labs" where they monitor or wrap up experiments or tests. Students and faculty also use teaching labs for some specialized research.
Teaching labs include a genetics/microbiology lab, a cellular/developmental lab, an ecology/behavior lab, a physiology/neuroscience lab, a biochemistry/molecular biology lab, and a vertebrate/biodiversity/evolution lab.
