The Biosensor Shared Resource Facility

The Biosensor Shared Resource Facility believes that measurement of the affinity that governs interactions of biological interest is insufficient for fully understanding or interfering with such events. Understanding how rapidly molecules come together, and how long they stay bound to each other, is essential to characterizing these interactions. Furthermore, optimal drug design requires a detailed understanding of interaction kinetics. Thus, the goal of this facility is to educate and support users, group or individual, in performing high quality biosensor experiments, and also provide expert assistance with experimental design and data analysis.
