Viral Immunology: Tripp Laboratory

Facilities

The Tripp laboratories are housed in the Animal Health Research Center (AHRC) located at 111 Carlton Street in Athens, Georgia. These laboratories occupy 4,800 sq. ft., and are immediately proximal to state-of-the-art BSL2 and BSL3Ag+ animal containment facilities.

The AHRC serves as a platform for the Center for Vaccine and Therapeutic Design (CVTD), a branch of the Biomedical Health Sciences Institute (BHSI). The BHSI's mission is to assist UGA investigators in the development of teaching and research programs towards the goal of preventing illness, disability, and death caused by infectious diseases.

Equipment and Instrumentation

Our laboratory is outfitted with a full range of the latest of state-of-the art technologies to support translational and basic research for pathogen discovery, biosensor development, RNAi drug development and gene silencing, and vaccine development with GMP production-scale capability. Equipment and instrument platforms allow for wide-ranging cell and molecular applications including in vitro and in vivo cell culture, widefield and confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, sequencing, real time PCR, bead-based technologies, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, chemiluminescense, ELISA and elispot assays.
