The Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology is located on the Health Science Campus.  The center consists of approximately 15,000 square feet of research space. This space includes dedicated facilities for histology, organ culture and tissue culture work, laboratories completely equipped for performing embryological and molecular biology research and two laboratories dedicated exclusively to embryonic stem cell research.   Our core facilities at the Center include: histology - pathology, electron microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, conofocal microscopy, image analysis, Hi-pressure liquid chromatography, as well as ultra centrifuges, PCR machines and densitometers. 

We have over 50 personal computers including dedicated systems for image analysis and digital photography; most units are connected to the internet and local networks. We also have software for word processing, Excel, database management, statistic analysis, protein and nucleic acid sequence analysis, densitometry and morphometric analysis.

Office space for faculty and other research personnel are located at the Center as well as offices for administrative services.

A JEOL-1200EX transmission electron microscope, Laminar flow hoods, fluorescence microscopes, a confocal microscope, dissecting microscopes with video and digital image capturing capability, densitometers, spectrophotometers, electrophoresis apparatus,  ultra speed and high speed centrifuges, Real time PCR thermocyclers, microinjection equipment, including two microscopes on air tables and micromanipulation, a well equipped histology laboratory, darkrooms, freezers, cold room and refrigerators, a scintillation counter, and a Brunswick Bioflo 3000 batch/ continuous fermentation bioreactor. All these equipment is available for conducting research at CCMB.
