Research Facilities


Most faculty members of the MCB Graduate Program are housed at two sites: the Gilman/Vail/Remsen buildings in Hanover at the north end of the undergraduate campus, and the Borwell/Rubin Research buildings at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon as well as the Centerra complex close by. The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center is northern New England's largest academic health care facility. Frequent shuttle bus service connects the two research campuses. All laboratories are state-of-the-art. In addition to standard molecular biological, biochemical, and immunological instrumentation, Dartmouth has invested in a world-class interdisciplinary research infrastructure. Specialized equipment is available on a collaborative and core-facility basis for a variety of cutting-edge technologies, including genomics (array instrumentation, dedicated computational facilities), proteomics (mass spectrometry and protein biochemical infrastructure), cell imaging (confocal and video microscopes), biophysics (SPR instrument, analytical ultracentrifuge), and structural biology (electron microscopes, X-ray diffraction lab, NMR spectrometers).
