Eckstein Medical Research Building

The McCray Lab is Located in room 240 Eckstein Medical Research Building (EMRB) on the Health Sciences Campus of the University of Iowa. This building is adjacent to several medical research laboratories and facilities including Bowen Science Building, Medical Laboratories, Medical Research Center, Medical Education and Biomedical Research Facility, and Hardin Health Sciences Library. In addition to the McCray Laboratory and shared core facilities of the Pediatric Department, several core facilities are convieniently located nearby.


Center for Gene Therapy The Center for Gene Therapy fosters scientific advancement in gene therapy by providing a focal point for gene therapy research at the University of Iowa.
Animal Care Facility  
Central Microscopy Research Facilities The CMRF provides instrumentation and technical assistance to research programs involving the use of light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and x-ray microanalysis.
DNA Facility The DNA facility offers a variety of services and resources to assist investigators in the use of modern recombinant DNA technology. Custom DNA synthesis, sequencing, amplification by PCR, and enzymes and reagents for recombinant DNA research and electroporation are among the many services available.
Research Techonlogy Services RTS provides a unique combination of software, computer-based hardware, and technical expertise for those interested in computer visualization, imaging, and molecular modeling.
High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Facility The High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Facility has the capability for almost any experiment in modern mass spectrometry, including utilizing gas/chromatography/massspectrometry, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, and high resolution mass spectrometry.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility The NMRF centers around three superconducting spectrometers. They are fully multinuclear and have variable temperature capabilities. Virtually any multipurpose, two-dimensional experiment can be performed on these spectrometers.
Flow Cytometry Facility The Flow Cytometry Facility houses two advanced fluorescence-activated cell sorters useful for studies in biology, genetics, immunology, endocrinology, hematology, cell physiology, and cell kinetics.
Molecular Analysis Facility
Gene Targeting Facility
Tissue Culture/Hybridoma Core The Hybridoma Facility contains water-jacketed CO2 incubators, biohazard hoods, microscopes, water baths, air lift fermenters, plate reader, and auxillary equipment required to do hybridoma fusions for the production of of monoclonal antibodies.
