An award has been made to the University of Richmond under the direction of Dr. Lisa N. Gentile to acquire instruments for a biophysical laboratory for research and teaching. The institution will acquire several specialized calorimeters and fluorometers to be used in research on bacterial proteins, molecular mechanisms of neurosteroid in the central nervous system, and the dynamics of protein subunits. The new instruments will improve the research group's ability to measure thermodynamics and observe processes in cells in real time. The instrument will be used in a number of courses, including a special laboratory course for biochemistry majors and workshops for high school teachers and students. The instruments will be a regional resource for other small colleges in the vicinity.

在丽莎·N·Gentile博士的指导下，已授予里士满大学，以获取用于研究和教学的生物物理实验室的工具。 该机构将获取几种专门的量热计和荧光计，用于研究细菌蛋白，中枢神经系统中神经类固醇的分子机制以及蛋白质亚基的动力学。 新工具将提高研究小组的实时测量热力学和观察细胞过程的能力。 该乐器将用于许多课程，包括针对高中教师和学生的生物化学专业和讲习班的特殊实验室课程。 这些乐器将是附近其他小型大学的区域资源。
