X-Ray Laboratory
The laboratory offers state of the art diffraction instrumentation for detailed structural analyses utilizing single crystal, powder and thin film diffraction techniques.
NMR Facility
The facility manages three high resolution NMR spectrometers engaged in structural elucidation of anticancer natural product isolation from marine organisms, organic intermediates for drug synthesis, and more.
Macromolecular Structure Function Core Facility (MSFCF)
The MSFCF facility supports biochemistry and structural biology researchers with state of the art instrumentation, supplies, and expertise to assist in the structural characterization of biological macromolecules.
Mass Spectrometry Facility
The facility currently houses a LC-MSLTQ and LTQ-Orbitrap Velos Pro MS. The new orbitrap provides high-mass accuracy in full ion scan and MSn modes accompanied by substantial resolving power.
Astrobiology Initiative
The UC Santa Cruz Astrobiology Initiative launches in 2020.
Seismology & Earthquake Physics Laboratory
The group includes world experts on earthquakes, mantle structure, subduction zones, tsunamis, and exploration imaging. They develop new techniques to map the Earth’s subsurface and unravel the workings of earthquakes.
Monterey Bay Area Math Project (MBAMP)
MBAMP offers professional development opportunities for K–12 teachers in Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito counties.
Stable Isotope Laboratory (SIL)
The SIL laboratory provides a suite of spectrometers and databases that support isotopic analyses for a wide range of research disciplines, including oceanography and earth science, paleontology, anthropology, ecology, and biochemistry.
Predatory Bird Research Group
The group promotes conservation of predatory birds and environmental education. Current research programs include raptor banding and survey efforts in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas.
Applied Artificial Intelligence Initiative (AAII)
The AII initiative promotes interdisciplinary research using machine learning and artificial intelligence, attracts and trains a diverse student population, and forges partnerships with industry.
Microscopy Facility
The facility serves our biological research community, providing personalized assistance on various aspects of imaging, from experimental design to training on the shared microscopes to image analysis.
Chemical Screening Center
The center hosts ~55,000 compounds from commercial sources and natural products dedicated to human health and finding the next generation of therapeutic agents against a wide variety of diseases.
