staffed facilities for X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and 
cryo-electron microscopy, including electron tomography, and will have 
opportunities to interact with colleagues in many disciplines and 
interdisciplinary centers.  Advanced imaging analysis and other 
biophysical instrumentation are available at the neighboring Bindley 
Bioscience Center and the Birck Nanotechnology Center 
(http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/).
