Quantitative Real Time PCR machine with 384-well plate has arrived in the lab. 
It was possible  with the generous support  from the  Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for the new assistant professors Dr. Evan Cornett and  Dr.  Hyun Roh.
It will definitely promote efficient research  progress.

It is ready to run once lab hibernation is over.
It is open to anyone in  the   Department after trainings. Ask Dr. Roh  for details.
