Facilities

Molecular Biology Core Lab

This laboratory has many of the tools used in DNA, RNA and protein research, including thermocyclers for PCR and RT-PCR, one- and two-dimensional gel apparati and transfer modules, gel documentation system, tetrad dissector, and an Experion automated electrophoresis system.

W.M. Keck Center

Interdisciplinary research center involving students and faculty from the Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, and Geology departments. The Keck Center will expand the capabilities of laboratories currently used, and add yet another dimension to research done by faculty and students involved in Millsaps College's field sites in Mexico and in Albania.

Greenhouse

This facility consists of one greenhouse and an adjoining classroom. Students utilize this space for independent projects, and specimens are maintained here for use in classroom activities.

Core Microscopy Suite

The department houses a state-of-the-art- core molecular microscopy facility, which includes fluorescence/DCI microscopes, software, and a variety of other equipment used in molecular and cellular research.
