Photo Tour of Labs:

    Following are photos of the lab so that visitors can see the environment in which we do our work.  This includes our laboratories and some of the unique equipment and capabilities therein.

   Our labs can be found at 32 degrees 49.153 minutes North by 96 degrees 50.576 minutes West at an altitude of 444 feet.  The address is:

   UT Southwestern Medical Center, Hamon Biomedical Research Building - BLDG "NC", Floor 7 (rooms 226 and 116) and Floor 8 (rooms 502B, 204, 108, 104, 104A, 102, 118), 2201 Inwood Dr. Dallas TX, 75390-9185


The Labs:

Views of the computational biology work area.  In this lab, students, interns, staff and consultants develop computer codes and databases to aid in discoveries in biomedicine.

The server rooms.

The biology laboratories.  In this lab we work on sequence verification of some of our computational findings, including SNPs and simple sequence repeat polymorphisms.  We have also used the two Beckman CEQ sequencers to complete ~1 Megabase of shotgun sequence for human and mouse.

Another view of Biology Lab.  We also have the necessary support equipment necessary for the genomic analysis of DNA samples.
