Laboratory
In Rooms 336 to 342, we have benches and hoods for chemistry experiments.
Across the hallway, Room 343 houses a dedicated BSL-2 lab for our biology research.

On the ground floor of the IGB, we build a Automatic Tape-collecting Ultra-Microtome (ATUM) to collect serial ultrathin sections of brain tissues for volumetric electron microscopic imaging.
In the student office, we set up shared desks for neuron tracing and proofreading, along with a Lambda GPU workstation for local machine learning training. Larger computational projects are supported through Illinois Computes. Plus, we have a cozy corner for relaxation and conversation during breaks from research.
