ASBMB is hosting a Lab Tour Series where graduate students or other lab members give a handful of undergraduates a tour of their lab space. GBM members will have the opportunity to see different types of research labs and visualize what research looks like directly.
The Corbett lab studies a variety of RNA binding proteins with implications in human disease using S. cerevisiae, Drosophila, and mammalian systems such as cell culture and mice. They grow yeast in environmental growth chambers; Drosophila are maintained in their fly room (though if you’re lucky, you may see some escapees flying around the general space), and they use a sterile tissue culture room to take care of mammalian cells. Mice are kept in the mouse house in the basement.
