The Desai Lab is located at Brown University in a contemporary research facility. The lab is located on the 6th floor of a brand new building located next to the Warren Alpert Medical School at 225 Dyer St. to foster collaborations. The Desai Lab is fully equipped with tools needed to conduct advanced research in the field. In the lab we have our own dedicated cell culture room, a refrigerated centrifuge, plate reader, fluorescent microscope, two chemical fume hoods, and NanoDrop UV-vis spectrophotometer.
Brown has many facilities that are available for shared use including:
-Mass Spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Facilities
-The Leduc Bioimaging Facility which has transmission electron microscope (TEM), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), three fluorescence microscopes, a fluorescence stereomicroscope, four confocal laser scanning microscopes, a multiphoton microscope, and software for image analysis.
-Molecular and Nanoscale Innovation (IMNI) Electron Microscopy Core
-IMNI NanoTools Facility (NTF)
-Flow Cytometry and Sorting Facility
-Molecular Pathology Core: provides services related to tissue processing for histology including paraffin/plastic/frozen tissue processing and embedding, sectioning by microtome, vibratome,
or cryostat, laser capture microdissection, slide staining and scanning, and tissue preparation for scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
-Brown Technology Innovations Office: provides support for invention disclosures and patent filing, and they are also heavily involved in the administration of the Responsible
Conduct of Research Training.
