Our lab is part of the Exercise Biology Laboratories that are housed in the newly renovated Health and Human Services Building. The Exercise Biology Laboratories consists of five separate work areas that support human and animal research in Exercise Physiology. 
Our lab contains spectrophotometers, a water purification system, a flume hood, a compound microscope, an inverted flourescent microscope equipped with phase contrast, Nomarski optics, and a computer-interfaced digital camera, refrigerated centrifuges, a high speed centrifuge, cryostat, gel electrophoresis and western blot units, a hybridization oven, a tissue tearor, an ultra-low temperature freezer, refrigerator, a computer interfaced microtiter plate reader, a hematology analyzer (Coulter), pH meters, analytic balances, chemical cabinets, mixers, glassware, water baths, and pipettes.
The cell culture lab contains two biological class II safety cabinets, a CO 2 incubator, a refrigerator freezer, a cell harvester, refrigerated centrifuges, a cell culture grade water purification system, an autoclave, liquid nitrogen storage dewars, and a Flexercell Strain Unit.
The vivarium contains a cage washing room, a surgical suite, and quarantine and housing areas. The surgical room contains computerized equipment for assessing contractile properties of rodent skeletal muscle, a dissecting microscope, a down-draft necropsy table, scales, and surgical supplies. A rodent treadmill is also housed in the vivarium.
