Faculty in the Cellular Molecular Biology and Physiology
(CMBP) research group at Georgia State University share
a common interest in the function and regulation of eukaryotic cells
and, in turn, how cellular function relates to development and physiology
of the animal. Research directed by the CBP faculty use cellular,
molecular, genetic, and physiological approaches to understand how
eukaryotic cells are organized how they communicate with each other
and respond to internal and external signals.
Research in the CBP group is enhanced by the state of the art Biological
Imaging Core Facility managed by a Microscopy Society of America
Certified Electron Microscopy Technologist. Our facility includes
a Zeiss LSM 510 laser scanning confocal
microscope equipped with helium/neon, argon ion and Enterprise
UV lasers, allowing for a wide range of possibilities when selecting
fluorochromes. A JEOL 100CXII transmission electron microscope along
with RMC ultra- and cryo-ultramicrotomy instruments and ancillary
equipment are available to fill TEM needs. Scanning electron microscopes
include LEO s420 and 1450vp instruments. The 1450vp system has a
variable pressure chamber for low vacuum work, as well as backscattered
electron and X-ray microanalysis capabilities. Other specialized
imaging equipment is also available to meet specific research requirements.
Cell Biology and Cell Physiology are integrated disciplines and
several of the CBP faculty have joint appointments in the Molecular
Genetics and Biochemistry and in Neurobiology groups. Members of
the CBP group have active collaborations at GSU and at other research
institutions.
