Current:Research & Teaching Facilities

The Department of Biological Sciences has a number of specialized facilities that our graduate students and faculty use for research. These facilities include:

Molecular Applied Biotechnology Lab

The Molecular Applied Biotechnology Lab gives our graduate students hands-on experience with up-to-date techniques and technology to meet the needs of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Graduate students can perform techniques such as: ELISA, protein and DNA electrophoresis, Western Blot, PCR, lymphocytotoxic and lymphocyte proliferation assays, culturing bacteria and viruses, identifying pathogens using PCR and molecular techniques, fermentation, antibiotic sensitivity testing and other techniques.

Camaquiri Conservation Initiative

The Camaquiri Conservation Initiative is focused on rainforest education, research, and conservation in the neotropics. It includes a biological field station in northeastern Costa Rica that serves as a base for teaching and research by ESU students and faculty, and students and faculty from around the world. The station, which has been operating for the past 5 years, consists of 200 ha (500 acres), much of which remains as primary lowland/swamp forest. There is a well-marked and maintained trail system and facilities that include a cafeteria, student cabins, classrooms, and a laboratory with field equipment and a small library.
