Research Facilities and Equipment
The SMRC laboratories (500m2) are equipped to study biological processes from the molecular level through to whole tissue. We utilise patch clamp electrophysiology, live cell confocal Ca2+ imaging, molecular biology, tissue culture, tension recording and medicinal chemistry.
We are very well equipped, with 8 patch-clamp rigs, 5 confocal microscopes, and 4 tension recording rigs. We have excellent facilities for cell culture, RT-PCR, qPCR, synthetic chemistry and everything required for molecular and mutagenesis studies. We have excellent animal facilities for housing and breeding normal and transgenic mice.
DkIT is a 3rd level educational establishment with a broad infrastructure in terms of library facilities, IT support and student support services to provide for PhD students.
