The Wilson Laboratory resides in approximately 1,200 square feet of contiguous lab space in Olin Hall and consists of three internally connected spaces: 1) a main laboratory for materials synthesis, formulation, and analysis with hood and bench space; 2) a state-of-the art cell and tissue culture suite; and 3) a cell processing and biochemical analysis suite. The laboratory is adjacent to newly rennovated office space for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. Additionally, Dr. Wilson and his laboratory have access to equipment the laboratories of several collaborators as well as a number of core facilities, all within a five-minute walk from Olin Hall on the compact and highly collaborative Vanderbilt campus.
