trueDiscovery Science01/10/2024MSU's Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Core completes $2.2 million renovation

The facility fully overhauled 3,400 square feet of laboratory to improve day-to-day operations and better enable world-changing life science research at MSU.

  • The Mass Spectrometry and Metabolomics Core located in the College of Natural Science’s Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, or BMB, completed nearly $2.2 million in renovations.

  • The renovations represent a full overhaul of 3,400 square feet of laboratory, with an emphasis on improving day-to-day operations and building upon the facility’s already storied presence in MSU’s research and education.

  • The completion of renovations also coincides with the arrival of new instruments, better equipping researchers across campus to probe questions in chemistry and life sciences.
