Sites and Facilities
Stanford
University Main Campus
The
main facilities and personnel of the Department of Biology
are housed in the Gilbert Building,
Herrin Laboratories, and
Herrin Hall on the Stanford Campus.
Biological Sciences is part of a science cluster on the campus, and is near the Medical School, and the departments of Chemistry, Physics,
Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, and Electrical Engineering. A free shuttle
provides easy transportation around the large campus.
Carnegie
Institution
The Carnegie Department
of Plant Biology engages in basic research on the mechanisms involved
in the growth and development of plants and algae. The Department
of Plant Biology is co-located with the Carnegie Department of Global
Ecology on a seven-acre site on the campus of Stanford University.
Many of the Carnegie staff scientists also have academic appointments
at Stanford University and teach both graduate and undergraduate
courses. Carnegie staff members also act as thesis advisors to Stanford
graduate students who pursue thesis research in the Carnegie laboratories.
Hopkins
Marine Station
Hopkins
Marine Station is a marine biology research and educational facility
that operates as a branch of Stanford University's Department of
Biological Sciences. Founded in 1892, Hopkins was the first marine
laboratory to be established on the American Pacific coast. Since
that time, many notable scientists, as well as a continuous population
of undergraduate and graduate students have come to the Station
to study and work towards a better understanding of the marine world.
The Station is located in Pacific Grove, on the Monterey Peninsula,
which forms the Southern shore of Monterey Bay.
Jasper
Ridge Biological Preserve
For
more than a century, scientists from academic institutions and resource
management agencies around the world have conducted a wide range
of research at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve, producing hundreds
of academic publications and receiving more than 150 advanced degrees
for work based on the site.
Falconer
Library
The
Falconer Library is located close to the Gilbert Building on Stanford
Campus. Falconer Biology Library offers broad coverage of the life
sciences. Areas of particular strength are biochemistry, biophysics,
cell and developmental biology, genetics and molecular biology,
neurobiology, and population biology. The collection contains over
100,000 volumes, including approximately 1,200 active serial titles.
Major reference tools available in the library include BIOSIS Previews,
MEDLINE, SciSearch, and AGRICOLA.
BioStores
BioStores
is a central store supplying life sciences research consumables
conveniently on campus. BioStores Online Catalog contains Inventory
items that will be delivered the same or next day.
