The state-of-the-art laboratory is equipped with dissecting and compound microscopes, autoclave, incubators, centrifuges, micropipets, electrophoresis apparatuses, DNA thermal cycler, and DNA chip analyzers. The laboratory will accommodate up to 32 students for experiments ranging from basic genetics and cell biology to modern DNA manipulation and typing. Harlem DNA Lab is directly administered by the DNALC and is staffed by educators and Ph.D. biologists who have been trained to deliver an exceptional learning experience for every visitor.Read CSHL's press release on the event.
