Science Everywhere 2023 Labs


Adamson Lab

We will demo research that we do in our Virology lab, including the tools we use to assess virus replication and effects upon cells. We also plan to have some hands on activities to demonstrate basic virus properties.

Location: 201 Eberhart

Department: Biology

Lab Head: Dr. Amy Adamson


Aquatic Ecology Lab

We will provide computer activities and show aquatic invertebrate samples.

Location: 343 Eberhardt

Department: Biology

Lab Head: Dr. Akira Terri


UNCG Biodiversity Collections

This activity will provide a tour of the biodiversity collections in UNCG Biology, which are used extensively in research and instruction in our department. Visitors will see and interact with fossil mammals, archaeological materials, and modern mammal specimens. Three-dimensional printed specimens of rare or delicate materials will also be available for handling and outreach.

Location: 145, 147, and 149 Sullivan

Department: Dr. Bryan McClean

Lab Head: 111


Fruit Fly Genetics Lab

Come explore the fascinating world of fruit fly genetics! We use mutations to track chromosomes when cells divide. Look under our microscopes to see if you can spot the differences!

Location: 203 Eberhart

Department: Biology

Lab Head: Dr. Chris Hylton


Hematian – Bionorganic Chemistry Labratory

Bioinorganic Chemistry is an interdisciplinary field at the interface of inorganic chemistry and biology/biochemistry. This rapidly expanding field probes fascinating questions about the roles of metal ions in life processes. Our research group investigates the chemistry of iron, copper, and manganese through synthetic modeling or directly working with metalloproteins.

Location: 221 and 227 Sullivan

Department: Chemistry

Lab Head: Dr. Shabnam Hematian


Interactive Realities Lab

The Interactive Realities Lab hosts research on extended reality (XR). Recent projects include immersive multimodal displays and virtual reality prototyping of next generation public safety user interfaces.

Location: 212 Petty

Department: Computer Science

Lab Head: Dr. Jeronimo Grandi


Molecular Reaction Dynamics Laboratory

Tours of Dr. Duffy’s physical chemistry research laboratory will be given. His research is in the field of “Molecular Reaction Dynamics” which involves trying to understand the physics underlying chemical reactions. To do this, Dr. Duffy and his students run experiments employing lasers, vacuum chambers, and other custom high-tech equipment.

Location: 239 Sullivan

Department: Chemistry

Lab Head: Dr. Liam Duffy


Natural Product Biosynthesis Lab

We will be giving a tour of our lab where we will talk about our research and the equipment we use and what they tell us.

Location: 470 Sullivan

Department: Biochemistry

Lab Head: Dr. Jonathan Chekan


Natural Products Chemistry/Fungi

We work with fungal microbes and isolate small molecules to find new drugs for cancer, malaria, and bacteria. In our lab we have pure cultures from fungi. We grow fungi so chemists can chemically study them. Fungi are isolated from submerged decayed wood in freshwater habitats and from living plants.

Location: 464 Sullivan

Department: Cehmistry

Lab Head: Raja Huzefa

2. Stop the Bleed: Life saving Bleeding interventions – Room 242

3. Start the Beat – Alcove Near Second Floor Entrance

4. Mental Well-Being – Second Floor Commons Areas

5. Healthy vs Diseased Organs Station – Room 120

Location: Nursing Instructional Building

Department: Nursing


Remmington Lab

Genetic variation and perenniality in plants: How do plant populations respond to climate change. We will have plants from different sources and some of the molecular tools we use to study them.

Location: 226 Eberhart

Department: Biology

Lab Head: Dr. David Remmington
