Keck Foundation Grant Funds Open Lab
With an $800,000 grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, a leading supporter of high-impact medical research, science, and engineering, USC is creating an open laboratory in its NanoCenter to develop new technologies in tissue engineering, sensing, drug delivery, vaccine manufacturing, and other biomedical applications.
The W.M. Keck Open Laboratory for Bionanoparticle Technology Discovery and Development is a partnership between USC and the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif. Two faculty members in USC s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Qian Wang and Cathy Murphy, have teamed with Scripps chemistry professor M.G. Finn to pursue this cutting-edge research.
Meanwhile, development of the 1,500-square-foot bionanoparticle laboratory has begun in the USC NanoCenter in Sumwalt College. The facility will include separate rooms for ultracentrifuges, incubators, liquid chromatography systems, and other specialized equipment such as a state-of-the-art ICP-OES, DSC, and NIR fluoriphotometers.
The W.M. Keck Open Laboratory will provide exciting educational opportunities for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. Some will be trained to use the lab s high-tech instruments, and many more will be exposed to the possibilities of bionanoparticle research.

Facilities
Keck Foundation Grant Funds Open Lab is operated on a costless basis for all UCS nanocenter members. However, fees are accessed for non-nanocenter members for consumables and equipment use. The major shared instruments in the Keck Lab include:
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
Florescence Microscopy
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS)
Cell Culture Incubator
Real Time PCR
Use Policies
It is imperative that all users work responsibly in the lab.
Access: The Keck Lab is open Monday ~ Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM. It is closed on all major holidays. Most of the major equipment is available for use after hours.
Scheduling: The major instruments are signed-up on a first come first serve basis. Any interested user can also call (777-2680) to reserve instruments or simply walk in to the Keck Lab to sign up ahead of time.
The following rules and regulations must be followed by individuals who intend to work in this lab.
1. All new users must go through instrument training.
2. Any instrument use must be entered in the appropriate log books.
3. If in doubt about using any equipment or chemical please ask the Keck Lab staff. Any mistake on your part could put you and others at great risk. Proper chemical handling is expected from all users.
4. Closed toed foot wear is mandatory for all lab users.
5. In case of a spill it is very important that you immediately inform the Keck Lab staff. The staff will help you clean up the spill in an efficient and safe way.
6. Users are requested to keep their appointments and clean up after they use this facility.
