Scientific progress depends on the availability of adequate resources as well as providing an atmosphere conducive to intellectual interactions. At this time, CCGS faculty are physically located in home departments at various locations on campus. To promote the sense of cohesiveness and purpose among faculty members of the CCGS, meetings, journal clubs and retreats are ongoing. As the CCGS develops, shared resources and scientific initiatives will both assist in fundraising and contribute to collegial interactions. An essential long-range goal will be to bring Center faculty and equipment core facilities together in a dedicated space on campus.
Electron Microscopy Core Facility
The Electron Microscopy Core Laboratory is sponsored by the Health Sciences Center and the School of Biological Sciences. Our techniques can help you understand structure and function.

D.M. Grant NMR Center
The mission of the D.M. Grant NMR Center is to support the University of Utah research community. We offer access to modern NMR instruments, and support that access with basic training and training materials. But the Center is much more than an instrument facility. The staff of the Center work closely with researchers to help them identify how NMR-based approaches can inform their research efforts. Traditionally, NMR has been successful in providing structural information on molecules - whether they be the result of synthetic strategies, derived from natural sources, or generated biosynthetically. The Center supports efforts to answer structural questions using the best of modern NMR methods. In addition to structural answers, the Center staff help researchers answer questions involving materials science (compositional analysis), physical organic chemistry (reaction kinetics), and biophysics (kinetics, relaxation-based studies of local conformational fluctuations). Center staff are eager to learn about your science and share their expertise. Contact information is available here.
