The research
laboratories of the Immunology Training Program occupy lab space in
several floors of adjoining buildings in the School of Medicine. These
modern laboratory facilities provide an outstanding environment for
conducting cutting edge research in immunology.
The immunology students and post-docs
have access to comprehensive research support services and equipment to
meet needs such as flow
cytometry and single cell sorting, generation
of transgenic and knockout mice, generation
of hybridomas, specialized
tissue culture, confocal
microscopy/imaging technology, electron
microscopy, and magnetic
resonance imaging of small animals. In addition, a
comprehensive Biomolecular
Core Facility performs DNA sequencing, oligonucleotide synthesis
and chip microarray analysis, peptide synthesis, and various types of
protein analysis. The latter is complemented by a
world-renowned mass
spectrometry facility.
The newly-renovated Claude
Moore Health Sciences Library, houses a huge collection of books
and 2,900 journals, many of which are also available free on-line in
full-text form to UVa students and faculty. In addition, the Carter
Immunology Center library also hosts a specific collection of
immunology-related journals. The Information Technology Services
(ITS) provides expert assistance on computer-related issues from
data acquisition and imaging to broad area networking and
bioinformatics.
