Facilities
Biomarker Laboratory
Studying the Gene. Development of neurodegeneration, developing new biomarkers for early detection of brain damage, establishing novel models for neurodegenerative diseases.
Environmental Assessment of Risks and Toxics on Health
Environmental Assessment of Risk and Toxics on Health (EARTH) is an environmental quality and health monitoring and assessment laboratory that exposes and enables the student to common hands-on techniques and instrumentation used in environmental and biological monitoring.
Central Neuromics and Sequencing Laboratory (CNS)
The (CNS) laboratory is established as a tissue bank and analysis facility in support of genomic and metabolomic environment interactions in a socioeconomic and demographic context.
Vivarium (Animal Research Facility)
This facility provides a stimulating environment for our students to work and learn the basics of animal handling and experimentation, as well as basic and fundamental animal-based research at AUC.
Center for Applied Research on the Environment and Sustainability
CARES was established by merging the Center for Sustainable Development (CSD) and the Research Institute for a Sustainable Environment (RISE).
