RICH Laser Lab
RICH 206 is an example of a recently renovated, modern research laboratory, and many more research labs in Richardson Hall will soon be converted to this model.
Dr. Catalano’s research area in RICH 206. Dr. Catalano and her group study enzymes called cytochrome P450 that are very important in metabolizing molecules that are foreign to the body, including drugs.

This is a research lab that is used by Dr. Gao’s research group. Dr. Gao uses organic synthesis and mass spectroscopy to develop methods for early detection of diseases by identifying small amounts of biomarkers in body fluids. Dr. Gao’s research is funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
This is one of our major equipment rooms, and it houses a nuclear magnetic resonance or NMR spectrometer. This instrument is mainly used by organic chemists who use it to check the structure of the chemical compounds that they have synthesized. The technology that is used to do magnetic resonance imaging or MRI in hospitals is based on the science of the NMR instrument.
This is one of our major equipment rooms, and it houses three mass spectrometers. These instruments can measure the mass of molecules, which is an important piece of information for organic chemists, who use it to check the chemical compounds that they have synthesized.
