Molecular Biology Core at Meharry Medical College is a multi-functional facility that provides to faculty, students, and staff of the college the primary service of DNA sequencing but also provides access to shared equipment housed in a centralized location and facilitates convenient and rapid access to frequently used molecular biological reagents. The Core also maintains an Invitrogen Supply Center that stocks many routinely used reagents for molecular biological research. Core staff also facilitate through the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance the ordering of reagents and supplies from the Molecular Cell Biology Resource Core at Vanderbilt University.
