Tour the Department of Microbiology

Join faculty on a tour of Microbiology research and teaching facilities, including the Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics.

Learn more about Microbiology at Miami.

 Hello. My name's Dr. Andor Kiss. And this is the Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics. And we are a core service facility. We're a molecular biology service core and we're also a training core.             And we have about $ million worth of equipment  in the center. And we train undergraduates  graduate students visiting professors  principal investigators on how to use all of this equipment. So we really have a full service capacity here. There's really nothing that we can't do in terms of molecular biology. I'm Dr. Luis Actis  the Chair of the Department of Microbiology.  And where we are right now to enter the teaching that is dedicated to microbiology. These lab is particularly prepared to deal with bacterial pathogens like MRSA. And you can see the tables were designed in such a way that they're very clean surfaces  easy to maintain clean. This is something that is very  very important considering the current situation. With regard to the research labs  they have somewhat a similar configuration but the tables can be moved. All the utilities coming from the ceiling so in such a way that we can arrange the labs in any shape or form that we need. One of the great things about Miami University compared to some of the larger schools or some of the smaller schools  is that we actually train you. So if you're coming in here as an undergraduate you actually get to walk in the door. We will train you. Several classes use the facility. We get you going on your undergraduate research project. So when you graduate  it's not as if you dropped samples off and got the data. You actually got to play with all of these really expensive pieces of equipment troubleshoot protocols  developed new research and things of that nature. Thanks for taking the tour  and hopefully you'll choose Miami.
