Facilities

The Exercise Physiology and Biochemistry Laboratory (EPBL) is located in the 3000 sq. ft. Exercise Physiology Laboratory. Inside our biochemistry and physiology laboratory you will find that we have a fully functional lab with dedicated facilities for cell culture, mouse holding (70 individually ventilated cage system and 30 activity cages), biochemical analysis, and sample storage. These facilities support the EBL’s focus on the study of physical inactivity, appetite regulation, obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis.
