Laboratory
Nearly 9,000 square feet of completely renovated basic science research space, part of the Cruzan Center for Dental Research, has just been completed. This area houses 4 molecular/cellular biology laboratories, 1 biophysics laboratory, cold room, light microscopy room, constant temprature and humidity room, histology laboratory, reagent preparation and autoclave room, 3 general-use equipment/fume hood alcoves, and a biomaterials analysis suite. Additional laboratories for anaerobic microbiology, electron microscopy, and neurophysiology are adjacent. A rodent animal care and surgery facility is located on the lower level of this College of Dentistry building. Research laboratories contain facilities for cell culture, refrigerated centrifugation, photography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay (RIA), SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Western, Northern and Southern blotting, dot blot, cell blot, immunohistomorphometry, extraction of bacterial cell wall components, protein purification, anaerobic culturing, CO2 incubation, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, DNA/RNA probes-polymerase chain reaction, cytokine and antimicrobial bioassays, cell proliferation, counterflow centrifugal elutriation, and genetic probe construction and transfection.
Clinical
The Clinical Research Facility in the Cruzan Center for Dental Research was completed in the spring of 1998. Included in the Center is a 7,000 square foot new addition which houses 4 large research operatories, reception area, a 420 square foot secure data entry/storage room, preparation laboratory, and supporting staff offices. Operatories are available for procurement of human clinical samples and measurements, as well as performance of clinical trials. The operatories are approximately 180 square feet and contain a full complement of dental equipment appropriate for clinical procedures, including a Florida electronic probe. Cephalostat and conventional radiographic equipment are available in the operatories, and the microbiology/cell biology laboratories are one floor below. Computer-assisted densitometric subtraction radiography equipment is located in the data entry/storage room.
