Major Research Instrumentation Grants from NSF

Faculty members Clark Lindgren, Keisuke Hasegawa, Pascal Lafontant, Vida Praitis, Josh Sandquist, and Mark Levandoski were awarded a $499,553 Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Grant from the National Science Foundation to purchase a laser scanning confocal microscope. The grant came only weeks after faculty in the Department of Chemistry also received an NSF MRI grant to purchase a 400Mhz NMR spectrometer. These grants reflect the significance of their research and their dedication to exemplary science education and mentorship.
