CSU San Marcos prides itself in
providing innovative state-of-the-art instructional laboratories
in the sciences. With over 400 pre-nursing students on campus,
there is considerable pressure on existing instructional lab
facilities for teaching BIOL 175 (Anatomy & Physiology I), BIOL
176 (Anatomy & Physiology II), and BIOL 160 (Microbiology) |

Many human diseases, such as
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and even type 1
diabetes, stem from structural defects in molecules such as
proteins and DNA. By understanding the structures of these
molecules better and the interactions that affect them, it is
hoped that drugs and perhaps even cures could be found. The two
instruments listed below are extremely important for these
researchers and will provide unique opportunities for
undergraduate students to become involved in cutting edge
research. |

Michael Burin
(760) 750-8575
|
This research centers on a study of
turbbulences in plasmas and rotating fluids with applications to
the understanding of geophysical flows and aerodynamics. The
work also has applications in the study of the dynamics of
planetary atmospheres. Students are already engaged in Dr.
Burin's laboratory helping set up and calibrate equipment for
the plasma experiment. |
