Campus Overview
The VBC occupies 19,000 square feet of space on the third floor of the (CB) on the Health Sciences Campus.
All laboratories, offices, and common equipment areas in this space have been renovated
through funding from a $2.5 million Robert W. Woodruff Foundation Grant. Individual
laboratories and common equipment areas are equipped with the modern, sophisticated
instrumentation required for carrying out a wide variety of experimental protocols.
In addition, the Georgia Research Alliance has established several very useful Core
Facilities on the Health Sciences Campus. These include the Molecular Biology Core
Facility (DNA and protein sequencing, oligonucleotide and peptide synthesis, gene
chip technology), the Transgenic Analysis Core Facility (analysis of transgenically
altered animals), the Transgenic and Embryonic Stem Cell Mouse Core Facility (production
of transgenic mice), the Histology Core Facility (histological analysis of tissue
samples), the Cell Imaging Core Facility (fluorescence, confocal, and multiphoton
microscopy), and the Flow Cytometry Core Facility (cell sorting).
These facilities are administered through the MCG's Neuroscience and Regenerative
Medicine. VBC faculty and staff, like all other Medical College of Georgia at Ðǿմ«Ã½
University faculty and staff, have equal access to the use of these Core Facilities.
