This facility serves two primary roles in the Biology Department:

• First, many areas of biology are increasingly dependent on the use of the tools and techniques of molecular biology. The MBF is a source of these tools and techniques to Faculty, Staff, and Students in the Department who may not have laboratories of their own suitably equipped.
• Second, the MBF maintains common use equipment which individual investigators require but do not have in their own laboratories (e.g. ultracentrifuges and automated DNA sequencer)
  

Inherent in the mission of the MBF is training. Undergraduate and Graduate students working on projects with faculty mentors are welcome and encouraged to use the facility. In addition the MBF is available for laboratory courses which utilize the equipment in the facility and expertise of the staff.
