April 2020
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.

March 2020
The Roh lab and all other labs at IUSM are joining social distancing. We have switched to the 'hibernation' mode to prevent the COVID-19 spread and to protect from the disease.
Stay all healthy and safe.
We will be back .
