New equipment will fast-track innovation at the UC San Diego labs and prepare students for life science workforce
San Diego biotech Illumina, a world leader in genomic sequencing technology, is donating equipment and nearly $1 million to the Scripps Oceanography campus to build out two new laboratories and equip them with state-of-the-art technology.
“This is a big deal,” said Bradley Moore, a professor and marine chemical biologist at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institute of Oceanography. This boost from Illumina will help the world-renowned research institute apply automated tools that are typically only accessible to the private sector and used for large-scale innovation.
For instance, it would once have taken April Lukowski, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Moore lab about two hours to manually use pipette tubes to transfer 96 samples to analyze their protein structures. Now, it only takes her about two minutes to prepare the same amount of samples with the automated liquid-handling pipetting robot.
