VIIBRE is located on the first and eighth floors of Building 6 of the Stevenson Center for the Natural Sciences and Engineering.

VIIBRE Laboratories

Cardiac Imaging Laboratories

Equipped for electrical, magnetic, thermal, and biochemical imaging of cardiac tissue and cellular preparations. The labs are equipped with two fluorescence imaging suites with physiological support systems, lasers, and high speed cameras.

SQUID Imaging Laboratory

State of the art facility that has designed, built and demonstrated a new class of low-temperature superconductivity (LTS), ultrahigh resolution, scanning Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) microscopes. SQUID microscope and human measurements are conducted in a Vacuumschmelze 15 ft x 12 ft x 9 ft magnetically shielded room that was installed in 1993 for studies of biomagnetic signals from humans and for other measurements requiring a low field environment.

Microfabrication Labs:

Three ISO5 clean rooms that are equipped to perform standard micromachining techniques including thin-film deposition, photolithography, etching, and surface modification, with an emphasis on constructing hybrid soft lithographic microfluidic devices with thin-film and optical sensors.

Wet processing lab for wet sample processing, chemical etching, and chemical vapor coatings.

Microfluidics teaching laboratory equipped with laminar flow and chemical hoods for training students and research associates in microfabrication.

Cellular Instrumentation and Control Laboratory

Dedicated to high-bandwidth (i.e., rapid temporal response) studies of the dynamics of cellular signaling and metabolism.

General Laboratories

Labs, in addition to those dedicated to microfabrication and cellular instrumentation, include a biochemistry laboratory, cold room, dark room, an electronics shop, a laboratory services room, and a machine shop.

VIIBRE Offices

VIIBRE has offices for 32 project faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students, and a conference room, all located on the first and eighth floors of the Stevenson Center Building 6.
