Helping them are (from left) Ben Scruggs, a fourth-year doctoral student in the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences; and Sarah Gale, senior research technician.After two years of eager anticipation, the first occupants of the BJC Institute of Health at Washington University began moving in last week.
The 11-story BJC Institute of Health is now the hub for WUSTL's BioMed 21 initiative to speed scientific discovery and rapidly apply breakthroughs to patient care. BJC HealthCare supported construction of the building with a $30 million gift over five years.
Research teams from the Diabetic Cardiovascular Disease Center and the Center for Women’s Infectious Disease Research moved into space on the 10th floor the week of Jan. 25.
Over the first three weeks of February, six faculty members from the Department of Pathology and Immunology will move into the eighth floor. Research teams from the Hope Center Program on Protein Aggregation and Neurodegeneration will move into ninth floor space during the last week of February.
