The Biochemistry Prep Room acts as a nerve center working closely with the Media Prep Room to provide support for a number of upper level Molecular and Cell Biology classes as well as one of the introductory biology classes. We maintain a large inventory of chemicals, supplies, and equipment necessary to fulfill the needs of laboratory classes. In addition, we prepare many of the solutions needed for each lab and go over the lab procedures with teaching assistants to ensure that the lab classes run smoothly and efficiently. In an ongoing effort to offer high quality experiments for biology students, we are constantly reviewing our procedures in conjunction with feedback from students, teaching assistants, and professors. The field of molecular and cell biology is rapidly expanding, with new techniques and discoveries being made daily. Our challenge is to incorporate this information into the learning experience of the students in order to provide them with an enriching and exciting insight to the laboratory aspects of molecular and cell biology, as well as providing a strong foundation in basic skills used in the laboratory.

Also working in the Biochemistry Prep Room is Jane Plucker.
