Instructional Lab Support

Biosciences Divisional Services provide staff and support for undergraduate teaching laboratories in both the Integrative Biology and Molecular and Cell Biology Department.

Staff provide technical services for all aspects of laboratory instruction, including preparation of exercises, lab safety, maintenance of equipment and supplies and animal collection. In consultation with faculty, the staff run pilot experiments to introduce new exercises, demonstrate laboratory techniques to graduate student instructors, revise student lab manuals, develop new lab exercises and test their feasibility before use in the classroom. The staff also provides continuity and institutional memory for those courses which rotate faculty each semester.

Staff are divided into four groups headed by the indicated supervisors and supporting the following courses:
