Wet Lab
If you are ever looking for GSU-iGEM, we’e on the fourth floor of Kell Hall, in room 403 or around the corner in room 439. The lab is an M1-Lab, which suits our experimental needs perfectly! In our 439 space we do all of our molecular work, such as cloning, PCR, transformations, and characterization. The team uses room 403 for the growth of our tobacco plants for future experimentation. When the need arises for the team to do any fluorescence, media sterilization, centrifugation, incubation, or further characterization tests our team has been trained to use the core facilities located in Kell Hall, Petit Science Center, or the Natural Science Center.

Our home away from the lab is the STEM suite on the fifth floor of Kell Hall. In this space, we plan our project ideas, set out our weekly goals, laid out our community outreach plans, assemble our educational Lego bags for local after-school programs, and process our results. This summer our team was seeking to make our lab space more accessible to anyone with disabilities. In the STEM suite the team could freely watch instructional videos to learn American Sign Language alphabet and plan accommodations for deaf students who might want to work in the lab. Oh, yeah, it was also a safe space to have a sweet snack or lunch.
