Room 379 serves two purposes. During the Fall semester, it houses the multiple lab sections of Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology (BIOL 204, the third core course in our curriculum) and during the Spring, the lab for Biology of Plants (BIOL 315) meets here.

With room for a maximum of 16 students, this lab is a fully equipped cell biology lab with both tissue culture and bio-safety hoods, phase contrast microscopes, an inverted microscope, incubators for cell culture, spectrophotometers, and micro-plate readers. 

Plant biology students use Qubit gas exhange monitors to make precise measurements of plant metabolism. Their study of microscopic structures and adapations of plants are enhanced by use of digital microscopes.
