Cellular Molecular Biology and Physiology (CMBP)
Overview
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 CMBP 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 CMBP 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.
Cellular Molecular Biology and Physiology are integrated disciplines
and several of the CMBP faculty have joint appointments in the Molecular
Genetics and
Biochemistry and in Neurobiology groups. Members of the CMBP group have
active collaborations at GSU and at other research institutions.
