Roy J. Carver Center for Genomics (CCG)
Our mission is to promote the understanding of molecular, cellular, and population level processes through the integrated analysis of genes and genomes, expression proviles, and functional and structural cellular properties.
Roy J. Carver Center for Imaging (CCI)
Plays a crucial role in advancing the research and teaching missions of the Department of Biology through its state-of-the-art light microscopy and imaging resources.
Greenhouse
Our principal activities include the culturing of plant lines for research projects and caring for a variety of plant specimens available to University of Iowa students. We also supply plant materials and growing space for studies and experiments in courses taught by department faculty.
Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank
The Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank is a National Resource established by the National Institutes of Health in 1986 to bank and distribute at cost hybridomas and the monoclonal antibodies they produce to the basic science community worldwide. It is housed in the Department of Biology at the University of Iowa.
