Research Facilities for the Graduate Program in
Neuroscience
The Graduate faculty are located throughout the Washington State University
multi-campus system, including Pullman, Spokane and Vancouver campuses, as
well as the University of Idaho. The laboratories participating in the
Program provide faculty members and students with cutting-edge technology
for the investigation of neuroscience questions. Within the various labs are
sophisticated light and electron microscopic instrumentation, atomic force
microscopes, computerized image analysis equipment, cell culture
laboratories, cell sorters and harvesters, electrophysiological technology,
biochemical instrumentation encompassing a spectrum of techniques from
various types of chromatography to automated peptide synthesis, and
molecular biology. In addition to top-of-the-line equipment, other WSU
facilities contribute to a successful research environment. The University
operates a central animal facility; laboratories have direct terminal access
to the University Computer Network; the Center for Visualization, Analysis
and Design in Molecular Sciences (VADMS) provides sophisticated hardware and
software that allows computer manipulation in molecular research, and the
University has a well-equipped Electron Microscope Center and a Nuclear
Radiation Center with a reactor and accelerators.
