Support the New Undergraduate Instructional Laboratory
First UC San Diego facility that encompasses a bioelectronics innovation lab, tissue culture lab, and vivarium all in one
A state-of-the-art facility, created by lab instructors, will support bioengineering, biotechnology and biosystems students and will more than double the size of the Chien-Lay Department of Bioengineering's main lab and triple the space for undergraduate cell culture. This expansion allows for increased enrollment and multiple lab course sections in biosystems, bioelectronics, genomics, and biomechanics.
