Interdisciplinary Science Building Equipment Fund

Who are we?

In the SJSU College of Science, we train a diverse group of scientists for the Silicon Valley workforce, as well as top graduate, medical and pharmacy schools.  Our Interdisciplinary Science Building slated to open in summer 2023 will have state of the art laboratories in which faculty and students will collaborate to conduct cutting edge biomedical research.  Chemistry, Biology and Bioinformatics student researchers will increase the pace of research in critical areas, exploring new ways to understand and treat heart disease, neurological disorders, cancers and infectious diseases. 

The new building will give us the opportunity to create synergistic common research spaces with state of the art equipment to support our students as they address critical questions in biomedicine.  The College of Science is known for providing high quality hands-on research experiences in biomedical research that set our students up to succeed in their careers.  These are transformational opportunities that allow students to work at the frontiers of their fields, making critical contributions to understanding diseases and disorders that impact our community.

Why are we raising money?

We are raising money to support the purchase of cutting edge equipment for our common research spaces, to allow students to take their research to the next level.  Equipment like PCR machines, gel documentation systems and -80C freezers are critical to this work, and can be shared by many groups to move this work forward.  Even a small contribution can make a huge difference and propel biomedical discoveries and our students' careers.
