CSB Labs & Instrumentation Facility

Find us in iLab

The Biophysical Instrumentation Facility and the Megalab Core have been combined to form the new Vanderbilt Center for Structural Biology Labs and Instrumentation Facility in iLab. The Biomolecular Crystallography Facility will be added in September 2024.

Overview

The CSB Labs & Instrumentation Facility (CSB-LIF) Core supports structural biology research by providing access to the Biophysical Instrumentation Facility, the Biomolecular Crystallography Facility and the Sample Prep & Characterization resources.

Facilities & Resources

Biophysical Instrumentation Facility

The Biophysical Instrumentation Facility provides access to mass photometry, stopped-flow spectrometry, microscale thermophoresis, dynamic light scattering, circular dichroism, fluorescence and microcalorimetry instruments for measuring macromolecular conformation, stability and binding interactions. Access and on-on-one training are available to any interested Vanderbilt researcher.

Biomolecular Crystallography Facility

The Biomolecular Crystallography Facility exists to make structural analysis by crystallography available by providing state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation, training, software, and support for all aspects of crystal structure solution. We strive to help crystallographers accomplish their work efficiently while being able to push the boundaries of the technology. The facility is also available to train and support researchers wanting to learn crystallography as a valuable research tool.
