The National Science Foundation and the Medical University of South Carolina in a joint effort will provide resources to modernize the central laboratories of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. This project is part of a larger endeavor by the institution and the State to strengthen the research environment of the entire campus. In accordance with the overall strategic plan for the University, the department's central laboratories are to be revitalized for research in the fundamental areas of environmental biology, bacteriology, and molecular virology. Laboratories, housed in the Basic Science Building, a 26 year old structure, lack quality space consisting of insufficient fume hoods for safely conducting modern molecular biology experiments, and inadequate biological containment facilities for using recombinant DNA, tissue culture, or biohazardous viruses and cell lines. The renovations of dysfunctional research space into modern facilities will have immediate and long-term impacts on research and training in terms of safety, accessibility, efficiency, collaboration, productivity, morale, retention and recruitment of high quality faculty and students. The project will provide shared facilities for tissue culture, microscopy, computing and instrumentation, as well as more efficient and reliable environmental chambers. The laboratories will be designed to promote optimum utilization of resources to enhanced cooperation and collaborations among research personnel, and increase the participation of faculty and students, including those underrepresented in science, in the scientific enterprise.

共同努力的国家科学基金会和南卡罗来纳州医科大学将提供资源，以现代化微生物和免疫学系的中央实验室。 该项目是该机构和国家更大的努力的一部分，以加强整个校园的研究环境。根据大学的整体战略计划，该部门的中央实验室应在环境生物学，细菌学和分子病毒学的基本领域进行研究。 实验室位于基础科学大楼中，这是一种26年历史的结构，缺乏不足的烟雾罩，用于安全地进行现代分子生物学实验，以及用于使用重组DNA，组织培养或生物危害病毒和细胞系的生物遏制设施不足。 对现代设施的功能失调的研究空间的翻新将在安全性，可及性，效率，协作，生产力，士气，士气，保留和招募高质量的教职员工和招聘方面对研究和培训产生直接和长期影响。 该项目将为组织培养，显微镜，计算和仪器以及更有效，更可靠的环境室提供共同的设施。 实验室将旨在促进最佳利用资源来增强研究人员之间的合作和合作，并增加教师和学生的参与，包括科学企业中代表性不足的教师和学生的参与。
