Our lab is located in Camarillo, CA about midway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, within the campus of California State University, Channel Islands. If you are visiting, we are a bit hard to find, so here are some maps and directions. We relocated to a larger facility on campus in February '04, and now have 3 labs, an office area, and a conference room.

Below are some pictures both inside and outside our lab.

This is our Jasco J-715 CD spectropolarimeter, including Peltier temperature control for thermal unfolding studies.

A broader view of the lab with the CD.

This is our new Beckman-Coulter ProteomeLab XL-I analytical ultracentrifuge with both absorbance and interference (refractive index) detection. This lab also houses our second analytical centrifuge, an XL-A (absorbance only).

The XL-A lab also houses our light scattering equipment and spectrophotometer. Here is our older SEC + MALLS setup (Wyatt MiniDAWN MALLS + RI and UV detectors). Sorry, we don't yet have a picture with the new MiniDAWN TREOS.

This is our Wyatt Dynapro MS/X dynamic scattering system with Peltier temperature control.

And this is our Jasco V530 UV/Vis spectrophotometer.

Our third lab is for protein purification. Here is the cold box, and a closer look at our AktaPrime FPLC system with its computer.

This is the view from our office window of neighboring buildings and the Santa Monica mountains.

Another view from our stairway. (Palms, an oak, mountains, red tile roofs, and a car---the ultimate Southern California shot?)

This is a closer shot of the cactus growing on the red-tile roof of the building in the shot above.
