Center Resources
“The Center for Precision Medicine and Functional Genomics is primarily housed in the modern facilities of the Science, Engineering, and Technology (SET) building on the Utah Tech campus, a state-of-the-art complex inaugurated in 2021. It encompasses advanced laboratories, active learning classrooms, student study areas, and dedicated research spaces, catering to the diverse needs of students and faculty alike.
Center faculty members have access to specialized teaching and research facilities within this building, including a comprehensive suite of spaces dedicated to functional genomics research. These facilities comprise a functional genomics teaching laboratory, several equipment/sterilization rooms, and research space tailored for functional genomics. SET also contains a state-of-the-art zebrafish facility with ZebTEC rack system that incorporates Active Blue technology. Additionally, the Center utilizes space in other buildings on Utah Tech’s campus- including a space for upper-division bioinformatics coursework and research where students can conduct research by remotely connecting with the clusters of the University of Utah Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC).”
