Life Sciences Institute Senior Research Scientist Kun-Liang Guan shows off his lab’s new room for preparing chemicals. Guan’s lab was first to move into the 230,000-square-foot Institute building last week, taking up residence on the sixth floor. One or two more labs will move in to the building each week through mid-December. Guan’s group is studying cellular enzymes and the factors that govern the growth patterns of cells and organs. His previous lab, with 13 workers, was located in Medical Science I. The new space, with clustered faculty offices, and “open bay” labs will foster collaboration and communication between Guan’s group and other Institute scientists.
