UW-Madison scientists will soon be getting new cutting-edge research tools to allow the university to stay in the forefront of medical and biological research.
The National Center for Research Resources announced Thursday that UW will get a $1.6 million grant to allow the university to purchase a new instrument that combines a mass spectrometer, a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer and a liquid-chromatography system to be used in a variety of research projects, including projects developing new antibiotics and drugs for a range of diseases including cancer, tuberculosis and diabetes.
