Today, the Bruker 900 MHz spectrometer was delivered to the West Quad facility on campus. This delivery concludes our NMR facility expansion that started in 2002 with the purchase of this and several other instruments. This magnet provides the strongest commercially available magnetic field strength, delivering superior resolution and sensitivity once the installation is completed. The instrument significantly enhances the infrastructure as it provides cutting-edge technology to the investigators of the Cleveland Center for Structural Biology, as well as the research community of Cleveland, Northern Ohio, and beyond.

Congratulations! to our 2005 Retreat Poster winners Rebecca Falin and Sunita Warrer (graduate students) and Tiberiu Fulop and Kathy Lee (postdocs). Join us at our weekly seminar on Monday, October 17, 2005 at 4 p.m. in E532 for their presentations.
