BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE TOWER

The Lewis, Enwright, Glausier, Fish, Freyberg, González-Burgos, MacDonald, McKinney, Teichert and Volk laboratories occupy approximately 16,000 sq. ft. on the 16th floor of the Starzl Biomedical Science Tower (BST). The laboratories include facilities for tissue fixation and preparation, immunocytochemistry and other histological procedures, molecular biology, biochemistry, neurostereology, computer-assisted microscopy and image analysis.

BRIDGESIDE POINT II

The Ahmari, Huang, McClung, Moussawi, Seney and Torregrossa laboratories occupy approximately 10,000 sq. ft. on the 2nd floor of Bridgeside Point II (BSP2). The laboratories include facilities for molecular biology, tissue culture, microscopy and electrophysiology. In addition to the Translational Neuroscience Labs, the University’s Division of Laboratory Animal Resources (DLAR) maintains a state of the art animal housing facility, which occupies the entire first floor of the building. The facility contains equipment for a variety of measures including anxiety, depression-like behavior, locomotor activity, learning and memory, circadian rhythms, conditioned place preference and drug self-administration for mouse and rat behavioral studies.

NIH BRAIN AND TISSUE REPOSITORY

Dr. Lewis directs the University of Pittsburgh‘s NIH NeuroBioBank (NBB) Brain and Tissue Repository in conjunction with Associate Program Director, Jill Glausier, PhD. The NBB brings together multiple stakeholders to facilitate research advancement through the collection and distribution of human postmortem brain tissue. It coordinates the collection, evaluation, processing, storage and distribution of nervous system tissue and associated clinical data via a federated network of brain and tissue repositories spanning the United States in order to provide tissue for the broader research community to study neurological, psychiatric and developmental disorders.
