Research Instrumentation

Alumni and friends have provided funds to the department to purchase major research equipment. Our students gain hands-on experience on a variety of major pieces of scientific instrumentation, including a state-of-the-art LCMS. Our graduates are well-trained in a variety of instrumental analysis techniques. We are deeply grateful to those who have understood the significance of advanced instrumentation in science instruction and research and who have helped to provide the instrument holdings the department enjoys. If you have an interest in helping the department acquire additional modern instruments then please contact us.

Research with Dr. Dennis Matlock

Research with Dr. Dennis Matlock involves several projects aimed at elucidating the mechanism of action of DNA helicase enzymes. Dr. Matlock's research has been funded by The Arkansas Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network ($17,090), The Arkansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (Arkansas INBRE) ($17,838).  Dr Matlock's latest work was published in the journal Biochemistry.  [Dennis L.
