A multi-million dollar radiation biological laboratory has been initiated at Prairie View A&M University with advanced state-of-the-art equipment including Confocal Microscope and faster computing clusters through a Texas A&M University System-wide campaign called – Chancellor’s Research Initiative (CRI).
We study radiation damage at cell level from various radiation particles simulating space radiation environment with high energy protons (few MeV to several GeV) as well as heavy ions (such as C, N, O, Si, and Fe with few MeV energy) at Brookhaven National Labs (BNL) and analyze the radiation-induced damage both through experimental studies and model calculations.
Below is the list of equipment available in our laboratory.
Premier Imaging Systems
- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a cytogenetic technique that uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with a high degree of sequence complementarity
- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) Automated Microscope
- Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope
