Facilities and Research Partners

The building houses facilities for clinical training and basic research. The basic science departments (Pharmacology and Toxicology, Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, Physiology and Biophysics, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Immunology, and Structural Biology) are located on the third, fourth and fifth floors. The centralization of the basic science departments within one building greatly facilitates strong collaborative interactions with scientists possessing a wide spectrum of interests and technical expertise.
