The school houses many state-of-the-art facilities in teaching and research laboratories, such as mass spectrometry facilities for biomedical research (e.g. Bio-TOF Q, MALDI-TOP), scan and transmission electron microscopes for molecular biology and microbiological research, 600 MHz digital nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer for biomedicine research, stable isotope laboratory for ecological and environmental studies, etc. We have various facilities for experimental model organisms including the ones for mice and zebrafish. In addition, the zoologists and botanists in the school boast one of the best specimen collections in birds and plants of southern China. We have established extensive collaborations with universities/research institutes at home and abroad, including those in USA, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Hungary, Japan, Singapore, and many other countries. |
