A grant has been awarded to Drs. Craig Plante and Louis Burnett at the College of Charleston to establish a core facility for molecular/genomic research at the Grice Marine Laboratory. The Grice Marine Laboratory (GML) serves as the primary facility in support of the undergraduate and the graduate programs in marine biology of the College of Charleston and the University of Charleston, SC. As the College of Charleston student population has rapidly grown to over 9500, the size of the Biology Department has increased from 20 to 32 faculty since 1993. Reflecting the department's goal to offer more opportunities for research to its undergraduates, research success has been emphasized in these recent hirings to a greater extent than in the past. Consequently, the scope and scale of research has expanded over the past decade, requiring a higher level of methodological sophistication. These shifts have necessitated the use of more contemporary protocols, including modern molecular approaches. This modernization will allow the GML to better fulfill its mission to support undergraduate and graduate student education; acquire and disseminate knowledge about marine organisms, processes, and environmental issues; and encourage collaborative interdisciplinary marine research among academic and other marine research facilities. Acquisition of an automated DNA sequencer, image analysis system, thermal cyclers, PCR work station and additional versatile equipment will make available new and exciting capabilities for scientists and students at the College of Charleston and beyond. Projects of the nine resident GML faculty and their students include study of microbial diversity in marine sediments, molecular mechanisms of immune responses in fish and shrimp, patterns of paternity in sea turtles, antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria in aquaculture, and phylogenetic studies of marine invertebrates and fish.This shared-use facility will benefit faculty and student research, undergraduate and graduate students, and a broader group of visiting scientists and summer interns at the GML. Furthermore, these resources will be available to our partners in the larger community at the Fort Johnson research complex, which includes scientists at the laboratories of the South Carolina Marine Resources Research Institute, the Marine Biomedical and Environmental Studies Program of the Medical University of South Carolina, and the Charleston laboratories of the National Ocean Service and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

已向博士授予了赠款。查尔斯顿学院的克雷格·普兰特（Craig Plante）和路易·伯内特（Louis Burnett）在格里斯·海洋实验室（Grice Marine Laboratory）建立了分子/基因组研究的核心设施。 Grice海洋实验室（GML）是支持查尔斯顿学院海洋生物学的本科生和研究生课程的主要设施。 随着查尔斯顿学院的学生人口迅速增长到9500多个，生物学系的规模已从1993年以来从20个教职员工增加到32位。反映了该部门为其本科生提供更多研究机会的目标，在最近的这些招聘中，研究成功在过去的程度上比过去更大。 因此，在过去的十年中，研究的范围和规模一直在扩大，需要更高水平的方法论上的成熟程度。 这些转变需要使用更现代的方案，包括现代分子方法。 这种现代化将使GML能够更好地履行其支持本科和研究生教育的使命；获取并传播有关海洋生物，过程和环境问题的知识；并鼓励学术和其他海洋研究机构之间的协作跨学科海洋研究。 获取自动DNA测序仪，图像分析系统，热循环器，PCR工作站和其他多功能设备将为查尔斯顿及其他地区的科学家和学生提供新的和令人兴奋的功能。 九个居民GML教师及其学生的项目包括研究海洋沉积物中的微生物多样性，鱼类中免疫反应的分子机制和虾的分子机制，海龟中的亲子关系模式，抗生素抗生素 - 抗生素 - 抗生素的致病性细菌在水上培养中的病理和培养范围的病理不足和养生范围。和研究生，以及GML的一群访问科学家和暑期实习生。 此外，这些资源将提供给约翰逊堡研究综合体大型社区的合作伙伴，其中包括南卡罗来纳州海洋资源研究所，南卡罗来纳州医科大学的海洋生物医学和环境研究计划的科学家，以及国家海洋管理局和国家海洋管理局和国家海洋研究所的Charleston Laboratories。
