Shared Laboratory for Macro and Bio−Macromolecular Research

The Louisiana State University Shared Laboratory for Macro and Bio-Macromolecular Research (SLMBR) is a cost center located in the Chemistry Department that support LSU researchers, as well as researchers at other universities and customers from private industry. 

The SLMBR was established to support instruments bought with funds from the 2018 Comprehensive Enhancement Board of Regents grant titled "Enhancing the Capabilities of the Shared Laboratory for Macro and Bio-Macromolecular Research [SLMBR]. The existing Chemistry Department Polymer Analysis Laboratory (PAL) is now part of SLMBR and it is currently managed by Dr. Stefanie Klisch with the support of Dr. Isabel Vitorino Maia as research associate and under the supervision of Dr. Fabrizio Donnarumma.

The facility occupies 1500 sq ft on the 2nd floor of the Chemistry building and provides advanced equipment for characterization of macromolecules, supramolecular assemblies, colloids, complex fluids, and related materials.
