Instructional Labs
The Instructional Lab staff support the faculty teaching lab classes. Lab classes promote student learning through safe, hands-on practice in experimental biology. The Division offers a number of lab courses in Tata and York Halls throughout the academic year and summer session. These labs house cutting-edge equipment and technology to support a wide range of experimental activities.
